Its easy to dismiss what you don't understand.
Imagine cross-platform app stores with one version running on all systems.
Imagine JS becoming a native-class language, due WASM speed.
Imagine that Rust-based VM safety will outcompete all others with time due security inherent in Rust.
Now consider the hundreds of millions of JS programmers now able to write real desktop programs and safely distribute them(like Ubuntu Snaps).
