we'll throw a ui in front of an existing open-source project, waste a billion dollars, push all the code upstream, file bankruptcy, shrug, and do it again in 2 years.

    Isn't emscripten the thing that compiles to wasm? I don't actually know much about transpilers.

      Emscripten compiles to asm.js, which is a subset of JavaScript chosen to be ideal to compile ahead of time (for well optimised engines). Wasm is kind of a successor to asm.js in that other languages will now be mostly compiled to Wasm instead of asm.js
