WebAssembly Limitations (qouteall.fun)

Great writeup.

Can't believe it's been eight years since WASM was introduced, and it still can't do basic stuff like proper multithreading. We shouldn't need to screw around with web workers and SharedArrayBuffers. Wasn't the whole point of wasm to break free from the shackles of JS so that we can write desktop-grade software that runs in the browser?
