This is the first time in a while I've seen something that really gets me excited about software.<p>The promise of "run anywhere" has more or less been fulfilled by the web, but it leaves a lot to be desired: shared code is duplicated on every site, the only language available has... quirks to say the least, and performance is always an issue. This seems to solve a lot of these problems, while usable webAssembly is still a long way off (and doesn't resolve all the issues above).<p>I have seen lots of cool stuff from MS wither on the vine. Hopefully this does a little better.
