will I finally be able to use C for the web?
or is the just some DOA tech that will be thrown to the wayside?

you fucks really do not get what the fuck WA is, do you?

WA should not exist. It is a solution to a problem that you shouldn't have in the first place.

>a problem that you shouldn't have in the first place
um, what? more and more applications are running inside a browser, it is easier to tell a brainlet "go to this website and suddenly you have an photo cropping tool", rather than "download and install this which may or may not work on your OS, and then run it, and then you have your image editing tool"
and because browsers run in many architectures (ARM, x86, RISC-V in the future, etc), you need to have a standard on which you have to agree upon. webassembly is the solution
unless you are happy telling people to download another VM? all successful languages have a VM in the middle. C# (mono/.NET), Java/Kotlin/Scala (JVM), Python (the interperter, not a VM but still)
bundling a universal VM in the browser is inevitable, i guarantee you it is 1000000 times better than fucking cancerscript

Doubt so.
Though there are C->JS translators.

It's tech for more sophisticated DRMs. Nothing else.

it already works, you can compile C to wasm with the emscripten compiler
however, what exactly are you hoping to write? the nice thing about C on desktop is that you have the mature ecosystem with all the good libraries, on wasm this all disappears

You mean Rust.

I really want to use F# instead of jabbascript.
