The serialization part is where I fell on my face; I was definitely following the C++ implementation a bit *too* closely.
There's a huge amount of type polymorphism needed and that was tripping me up pretty hard as well; I'm going to instead actually take advantage of the fact that JS is a dynamic language and that should help cut down on the amount of code needed. WASM is definitely an appealing thought and probably the ideal way to use capnp in the browser, but the way I see it a pure JS implementation will continue to be appealing for as long as we have other non-desktop devices with JS but not WASM support (I'm looking at Android 4.x, especially - that's going to be around for a while).
