gollark: Web development is pretty problematic in a bunch of ways, but it's a really nice platform. You get nice client/server communication, very good UI rendering, tons of good libraries, and video playback and 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: Revision history is kind of already implemented because revisions are saved, but you can't view them and I don't really like the way the data is stored for that.
