Script kiddies are like "eww Java", but this is actually great. If it's output and runtime are performant and not overly bloated this can be pretty awesome. Bringing the gigantic amount of pre-existing Java software to the browser. I would like to see comparisons with Go's WASM

Why does that need to exist?

... To run jvm applications in the browser on wasm.

Yes. I don't mean to be rude, but I don't really think my question has been satisfactorily answered.

Then again, I didn't expect it would be, so don't take that as criticism.

Who the fuck are you that I owe you an answer "to your satisfaction"?

You don't, and I didn't ask you for one. Incidentally you don't owe me anything else either.
