it is odd that i hadnt taken the time to look at web assembly... if it is half as nice as this demo(linked below) then omg.. it loaded really really fast... (and i have a super slow laptop, with shit for hard drive and almost no memory)... so, it doesnt look like bloat or slow load times.

Web assembly will be faster than Javascript except when you are manipulating the DOM. In that case its slower because it still has to call javascript to do that, and the bridging adds overhead. Someday they are going to rectify this supposedly, but not anytime soon

I just hope it actually works on enough browsers to be usable.
