gollark: Well, I want something which can run on remote devices and without me having to program platform-specific UI stuff.
gollark: ~100KB vs ~10MB, roughly, although maybe WASM output sizes have improved now.
gollark: For equal size yes, probably, but WASM would be two orders of magnitude larger in this case, roughly.

gollark: I mean, technically you can use basically anything now via WASM, but that limits your options for library support a lot and the browser ends up downloading and parsing a giant WASM blob.
