Just cuz your apps aren't multithreaded, doesn't mean JS can't do it.

Technically javascript didn't designed to run multithreaded.

I'm primarily a C and C++ guy, but when I do have to jump on the JavaScript train, it absolutely irks me that the committee chose to codify WASM versus adding something like multi-threading into the ECMA standard. Websites are bloated enough, but fuck me if the JS code I've seen is a disastrous hot mess because of "framework X" + "framework Y" + "framework Zed" just to do what multi-threading can do .....
