Entertaining post, but
How are Scala's innovations there to get around the limitations of the language? Scala is not pure and lets you write completely imperative code if you choose to.
Programming languages that compile to native binaries; also WASM

Chase Richardson
I refuse to believe this
Nathan Lewis
Believe it. I really wanted WASM to kill the abomination that is JS (yes, even at the expense of potential Google botnet), but it won't. God hates us and we're alone.
Brody Anderson
Isn't the whole point behind WASM secretly to provide the abstracted infrastructure necessary to one day eliminate JS and do just have sandboxed native deployment like Google originally wanted with NaCl?
Nathaniel Smith
Ada.
Jason Turner
just u guys wait until i finish prototyping my language
Adrian Harris
Tell us about it.

automatic optimal concurrency.
automatic data structure choosing.
automatic integer type choosing.
automatic cache friendliness.
automatic memoization.
and more...
insteading of making trade off between performance and ease of use like other languages do, here you get both because the compiler making the decisions = the programmer doesnt have to make them, which makes things simpler.
William Gutierrez
So you're like 90% complete then.
Kevin Powell
maybe on the theoretical side of things.
implementation wise i dont have usable compiler yet.
