No offense meant, but that couldn't be more wrong. If you're writing for the server, you can already use whichever language best suits the problem at hand. WASM will eventually allow the same choice in the browser.
The extent to which WASM could be used in the Node ecosystem would essentially be an indictment of how badly the Node community has bungled FFI. (node-ffi[0] should absolutely be added to Node core, not be independently maintained and always trailing compatibility with newer node releases, right now you have to choose between security or compatibility)
I guess if you don't include IE11 as one of the "major browsers".
I wish that was the case. Yes, I know it is only receiving security updates -- but it will supposedly get those until Windows 10 is no longer supported (if I'm reading things right).
Unfortunately, that doesn't stop a bunch of people from using it. It still has a considerable amount more marketshare than Edge does (if netmarketshare.com is to be believed).
40% of desktop users use IE11 for our browser based app. 1% use an older version of IE, and 1% use Edge. Our clients are businesses, mostly in Australia and New Zealand.
Yeah, I know many businesses still have to use IE11 because some web app they use requires IE (often on an intranet, but sometimes still even in the internet). Sad state of affairs.
