If you are trying to create a complete web application using WebAssembly, the easiest way to do that as of now is using Rust and a framework such as Yew with Trunk. However, because of the small ecosystem, WebAssembly is currently best for small performance focused parts of an application rather than whole applications.

Currently, if you want to use WebAssembly, the best languages to use are Rust or AssemblyScript. Rust has the most extensive ecosystem for WebAssembly, with tools like WASM-Bindgen for binding to JavaScript, WASM-Pack for generating WASM packages, and more. However, even though AssemblyScript has a significantly smaller ecosystem, it can be a good choice for small WebAssembly modules. AssemblyScript is TypeScript with more advanced types, so it is easy to learn if you have previous JavaScript experience. Additionally, AssemblyScript can often be almost as fast as Rust or C WebAssembly, while delivering significantly smaller binaries.

WebAssembly is a sandboxed language, and because of that, it is secure. Tools like Wasmer allow running WASM outside of the web with limited system calls and metering CPU cycles. WebAssembly's security has made lightweight serverless function environments like Cloudflare Workers, Fastly Compute@Edge, and WasmEdge increasingly adopt WebAssembly. WebAssembly can even be more secure than JavaScript on the web because of the simplicity of the compiler. Unlike JavaScript, which has a complicated three-tiered JIT compiler/runtime, which can be very buggy. In contrast, because WebAssembly is strongly typed and closer to machine code, the compilers for WebAssembly can be more straightforward and, therefore, more secure. Firefox even uses WebAssembly for font shaping because of its sandboxing capabilities.
