Can you share something else they could've built everything else on top of, instead? Yeah, that's what I thought.
Do you really think a normal junior dev is going to be/should be writing web assembly code to build a basic portfolio website?
Im also curious what language do you think would be suitable instead? And whats your plan to move all the browsers and websites in the world to this new language?

I'm not proposing this, I am saying there should have been options to begin with.
There are a lot of junior developers across the world in different economic situations who might. To think otherwise is just arrogance. Think students, freshers, job-seekers switching industries.
In other words, if your programming language makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot, then it isn't a good programming language to begin with.
