I had the same feeling when we reached the pinnacle of complexity of Windows programming with COM/DCOM/ActiveX/.NET/WinForms/Silverlight/Visual Studio... All of that felt like necessary progress. Yet, a simple script piping text output into a browser via CGI felt like a breath of fresh air. We need this for web development now.

I believe wasm can be that. A static file distributed to the edge with near-native computing capabilities. A lot less infrastructure to manage.
