How is Elm/Om doing so well in those benchmarks? I would think that most wasm frameworks would be able to blow past any js framework fairly easily.

edit: Ah, calls to js are still necessary to create DOM elements, so there's lots of back and forth necessary in the wasm frameworks.




Would it be fair to expect the performance to get better once the Web IDL Bindings Proposal for WebAssembly is done?


If my hypothesis is correct and it loses ground in benchmarks due to overhead of calling js dom methods, then I would expect native bindings to improve performance. I'm not an expert or anything in this field though, so maybe someone closer to the issue can chime in.


Yes, that's why it's being pursued.
