> a fully-featured JS replacement, targetable in any language

Any language can target a combination of JS and Wasm, right now, to get a "fully-featured JS replacement". How would adding more features to Wasm improve that situation?

How does substituting JS for some other JS achieve a goal of replacing JS? If someone wanted to replace C, would you suggest C as a C replacement? That's nonsensical in context.

Adding browser interop to Wasm that obviated the need for JS would, obviously, achieve that goal. Hence the improvement.
