I'm assuming that saying absolutely zero JS and using WASM is cheating?

I don't think John excluded WASM, please use C and when the browser is optimised in about 10 years you'll smash JavaScript heh. It's not a magic bullet yet.

It's all here, Java, Rust Lua c# typescript via WASM and more there's a lot of languages compilation efforts. Blazer is the c# one? Sadly JS is still out performing all of them due to browser optimizations. However judging by my previous comments, it doesn't matter.
