Subtlety is not your strong suite. One can use WASM for manual memory critical paths while using raw JS for other parts. And you did not hear me. You can write WASM in JS. Transpiling. Amazing, huh?

And how fast is JS compiled to wasm? Are you claiming that it's also as fast as C++ compiled to wasm?

Yes, Typescript to WASM is just as fast as C++ to WASM.
