Preventing Log4j with Capabilities
Agreed re: the general idea, but isn't CloudABI in particular superseded somewhat by WASI? Its repo seems to say it is: https://github.com/NuxiNL/cloudabi

I can share an example from the main function of the [self hosting Firefly compiler](https://github.com/Ahnfelt/firefly-boot/tree/master/compiler):
main(system: System): Unit {

What are some simple but powerful compile-to-JS languages I might not know about, or that you are working on (not Elm, Reason, PureScript, or ClojureScript)?
I'm working on Firefly, which will compile to JS once bootstrapping is complete (almost there).
