		JoshTriplett on June 17, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: From Asm.js to WebAssembly My hope is that WebAssembly will start motivating a set of lower-level APIs, with higher-level APIs being provided on top of those by WebAssembly "libraries". JavaScript tends to motivate much higher-level APIs, and you can't turn high-level APIs into low-level APIs, only the other way around.

This seems orthogonal to WebAssembly. This is already a goal for its own sake--see the Extensible Web Manifesto.
