Not everybody wants “Scheme in the browser”. In the spirit of “Worse is Better”, plenty of people want to run C++ in the browser. I’m not one of them, but hey, whatever floats your boat.
That said, I’d like a few useful libraries (e.g. - fixed precision decimal arithmetic) written in web assembler. But otherwise, I actually prefer writing in JavaScript (as FP more than OOP) over C++/Java/C# (degenerate Simula 67 clones) for most application level tasks.
Writing in C++ won’t make DOM access or async I/O go away, though :-)
