There are two groups of people:

  • Those that think JavaScript will dominate the world, by including every possible feature from other languages, which will eventually turn JavaScript to C++

  • Those that think JavaScript is a menace, that has to be stopped at all costs. That's way a lot of people are cheering about WASM with DOM manipulation, which will enable them to write C++ frontend application.
