Theoretically speaking, the premise of WebAssembly being a common compilation target for the web (and not only), letting people write apps running at edge, in whatever language they prefer (sorta), sounds very appealing. I mean, why limit the web to JS?

However, I wanted to hear the case against wasm, if any. Do you think it will continue to gain traction and wide adoption?

Do you think it's worth dedicating time to study it's inner workings and perhaps pursue a related job?
