Just imagine if those years of research went into a good language instead. Instead of expending a huge amount of effort making an inherently slow language perform reasonably, we could have taken a reasonable language like Rust and made it so good it would legitimately push computing forward.
And then all you web devs could still compile rust to wasm. wasm is already faster than JS anyway. JS was a mistake.
