Do you think that language-agnostic frameworks are the future?


If yes, why? If not, why not?

Given that WASM/WASI are somewhat a growing trend, do you think that language-agnosticism is the next step?

What would you consider the pros of language-agnosticism and what the cons?

Are they not the present?

You can already use multiple programming languages to target other runtimes such as the Java Virtual Machine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_virtual_machine) or the Common Language Runtime (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Language_Runtime).

WASM / WASI is just another runtime, but supports more programming languages than the JVM or CLR.
