    Important to note that WASM will only give you enough performance boost to justify using it if the task is significantly demaning to JS. JS is not slow.

      JS is slow, but I program Rust and Scala. Every internal app at my company is react based and I spend most my time waiting for that bloated framework to load a simple table. It can take seconds to load a 20 route paginated table from source.

      JS is not slow.
