The efficiency of wasm is really impressive. An optimised build of Stockfish with POPCNT evaluates positions at ~1500kn/s on a single core of machine. By contrast, the wasm build on https://lichess.org/analysis/r4rk1/p5b1/2p2n2/1p2p3/4P2q/P1N1B3/1PP1B1Q1/2KR3n_w#0 can compute ~42kn/s in the browser for the same position!

Implementation chicken:
When there's an obvious feature gap in an ecosystem and everyone is waiting for someone else to write it.
I see this most frequently with OSS toolchains. Basic functionality in new programming languages is another common scenario.

I'm debating whether `from foo import *` is a bad feature for my toy programming language.
Forcing `import foo as f` and later `f::bar()` is so much more amenable to local static analysis. You also don't get issues with name clashes.
It's certainly convenient though.
