With WebAssembly, it's getting to the point where I really just have to ask
"Why?" when this sort of thing comes up. It seems that we're just looking
for
ways to overcomplicate things at this point, pulling in "Web" technologies for
things that are surprisingly simple. Web browser vendors continue to surprise
me with how overcomplicated these things are getting. I remember when web
browsers didn't need gigabytes of RAM to function properly, when they didn't
need to run in multiple processes.
