The ONLY reason JS is popular is lack of choice. Web browsers only support JS. If developers were given a choice of language the majority of web devs (especially seasoned and experienced developers) wouldn't pick the moronic language of JavaScript!

Until WebAssembly has DIRECT access to the DOM it will still be JS.

You are talking about just one interface which we already know. It's a non issue to me and probably most web assembly people
