thanks to wasm any language is a browser running language. JS is relegated to some token binding boilerplate as part of any framework and with things like servo/tauri rendering html will be pure rust
Theoretically yes, practically you may have to deliver a whole runtime depending on the languagey making websites even bigger and slower to load initially. And unless it's a webapp with data processing on the client the perceived performance benefits may be negligible.
correct
good languages like rust have tiny bundles and initialize in microseconds, of course :)
