... because DOM access is significantly (10x) slower? That alone rules out your approach right now, regardless of the other points raised.

When you understand how weak these arguments are you will understand the negative reaction to your comments on this issue.

You're clearly very passionate about this issue but you don't seem to be assessing the trade offs. Having something right now and iterating on it is better than waiting an indeterminate amount of time for a possible future solution involving an overlapping but otherwise unrelated specification that has not been fully implemented by anyone to a satisfactory point, and one with very complex technical issues blocking its suitability.

Sure, it would be nice to use WASM for this, but it is in no way needed at all. Given the status of WASM and the technical issues present with using it in this way it is odd to champion it to such a degree.

It seems your entire arguments boil down to "WASM may be OK to use at some point in the future, stop working on this and wait!". I, and I'm assuming others, don't see this as a very convincing point.

If I may, I'd offer some advice: stop taking this issue to heart. Time will tell if you're right, and making borderline insulting comments to the technical lead of the project in an attempt to push your position doesn't help anyone.

The world is heating up and species are dying, there are much better causes to take to heart.
