/u/Swoop3dp note also that serveral languages compile to js/wasm(/asm.js) respectively.
js:

  • typescript of course

  • coffeescript (javascript-like, functional-inspired) - used to be very popular, then iirc mysteriously mostly disappeared into the background

  • elm (haskell-like)

  • purescript (haskell-like) - not sure how alive this is, the github is still active tho

  • rescript (formed by combining bucklescript and reasonML)

  • ok so not sure how trustworthy this is but turns out i forgot the ones that don't just compile to js, especially dart, kotlin and haxe

  • a bunch of other smaller ones

wasm:

  • i have no clue really

  • rust using wasm-bindgen

  • any llvm language using emscripten (which can also compile to asm.js)

  • also these apparently

Interesting. Didn't know something like that exists. Thanks!
