I can't wait for the browser to be released from the shackles of JS.

Just imagine how awesome would it be to use the full power of Python to build a react like library.

It is a source of great disappointment to me that WASM cannot directly control the DOM.

Why does it need to be direct? A bit of glue code doesn't hurt, especially since most of the other glue is going away with WASI.

That glue code is a massive cognitive burden on a programmer. It's not a big deal when you already know it.

But when you don't, a thin, glue layer of code following different paradigms than the other 90% of your project will crush your development agility anytime you have to touch that glue layer.

WASM Interface types will fix that
