On: Virgil: A fast and lightweight programming languag...

I'm not sure "compiles to WASM" is a selling point anymore. Are there any serious languages that don't? You'd need to have no way of expressing as C code or LLVM IR, etc.

The interesting thing about Virgil is that it doesn't use LLVM under the hood: it has its own IR that can compile to native code, JVM/jar's or Wasm
