Why does the testimonial contains only Chinese company?

I think it's really great but it would be better to have company from all around the world

Good to hear it is making progress, but last time I looked, the docs were all over the place and many were outdated...

Is it safe to say, future frameworks/websites can choose to stick to HTML/CSS/WA and completely bypass JS?

Yes, but in the far future.

There are many things to be done in the standard, in the implementations, in the frameworks...

Don't you mean JavaScript? This will have 0 effect on Java at this point since it isn't used in the browser anymore.

It will bury JS long before it buries Java(/JVM), if it will bury either. I'm not sure there is any convincing reason to use wasm on the backend, where java is prevalent.

I expect standardization to help with that.

Is this the same case as with HTML5 that W3C takes what WHATWG creates, stamps their "approval" and then it's the W3C that "brings new language to the Web"?

Could someone in the know shed some light in this matter?
