the big issue here is the debuggability by having all your dependencies in the same language, and it's not even like these rewrites will all be in the same performant language for you to learn, so essentially if you are using a wasm compiled dependency you are not likely to be able to go into that dependency's code and figure out where the library author has messed up or what you have misunderstood from the documentation.

The solution to that is dependencies that work

Does the dependency that always works and has no bugs also come with a free rainbow and unicorn?

I sure hope so - otherwise how would I know the dependency I installed was going to always work?
