But WebAssembly was just made a new standard by W3, which, correct me if I'm wrong, will allow browsers to natively support literally any other language the developers choose.



Yes, but only if those languages do not interact with the platform (the platform being "webpages"). DOM manipulation requires JavaScript. So, it is still the case that JavaScript is the only language with first class support.


Afaik when I write react , 100% of real(!) dom manipulation is already abstracted away. So why wouldn’t that work with webAsm?
