Or rather, before flang + emscripten/wasm/whatever, there was no reasonable way to run Fortran in a browser; now there is. Application developers can then choose whatever is most important for their application. Disclaimer: my web dev experience predates the "modern web" with SPA's, fast javascript runtimes, html5 etc.

Never thought I'd live to see the day people would be talking about compiling fortran to javascript to run in a web browser. Just mind blowing.
