It's a complement to my other answer to you (about your Q on why ppl would not want to learn/use js and would prefer WASM if there was FastDOM ==> because not everyone wants to be multilingual): I was listing a few languages that people are confortable with and would rather use through WASM than learning idiomatic JS/TS ( it's easy to learn the syntax, it takes practice to learn the idiomatic way).

And yes, I do meant that my listed have gotten better, just like JS/TS.

As for why not comp/transpiling to JS? it is my impression that WASM was born out of that ( Compiled to subset of js (asm.js)) and it's an evolution of compiling to JS.
