I'd really like to be able to run _any_ language in the browser. WASM is a great first step.

Internet Explorer used to support any language that Windows Script Host could run. By default, that was JScript and VBScript, but there were third-party engines for Python, Perl, Ruby, Lua, and many others.

Possibly disabled now as they announced VBScript would be disabled in 2019.
