> I think you misunderstand what WebAssembly is about.

I don't, WebAssembly is about C++, primarily. Every design decision has been to support C++. Everything else is an afterthought that will come later. WebAssembly isn't about minifying your JS.

Read this: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/GC.md GC, DOM access, etc. don't exist in WebAssembly code, yet.




It's C++ first as a convenience, since LLVM is best at C++ and emscripten w/asm is a solid benchmark. It is NOT primarily about C++ just because that's the v1.

It's not about C++ primarily, it's about building on the base which asm.js laid out. C++ would only feature in this because of Emscripten.
