WebAssembly: A New Hope
We will quickly find out that while WebAssembly might sound like a next step is a bad thing to happen to the web - ads will be binary blobs that consume 100% CPU and adblockers won't work and cannot be implemented without wasting even more CPU. Beside that the web will get more and more closed down - sound like something that Bill Gates had originally in mind in 1994/95 with pay-per-view Win32 based TheMicrosoftNetwork that never took off, because of the free WWW with ads skyrocketed.<p>Edit: Re "Anything wasm can do, JavaScript can do." ASM.js was one thing and ok, wasm is the real concern. What about the "binary blobs" do you not understand. The usual downvoters who have vast interest in succeeding of this questionable tech.
