Who else believes WASM makes sense as a first class Nim target?

I am still looking for the prefect language and not yet fully engaged with Nim 
yet, coz it strikes me chiefly as "leverage over C" and I never got into C in a 
big way. And agree with this sentiment completely: (C is not a programming 
language any more) <https://www.theregister.com/2022/03/23/c_not_a_language/>

I believe the optimal target for the best language designer in the world is 
'compiled character with dynamic productivity' which is also an obvious goal of 
Nim. However at the moment the top title is firmly taken by Typescript, since 
the V8 accomplishments are so significant, and the convenience factor (browser 
as platform + dynamic scripting nature, preserved + type safety if wanted) is 
considerably higher reward for programming time invested.

If I had to make games I would feel differently, of course. But for the time 
being I am am into digital publishing, and plenty of graphically rich, 
interactive content is already possible - within severe limits.

If Nim was the optimal way to publish to the web - using WASM performance - I 
think I wouldn't be able to resist though...
