JavaScript has no such capability aside from JSX/TSX, which is essentially a built-in macro.
So either the ECMAScript folks figure out a way to have standard compilable userland language extensions (e.g. macros) or WASM paves the way for languages better suited to the task to take over.
Neither of these cases are likely, however, so the web world is likely destined to remain unergonomic, overly complex and slow - at least for the next 5 - 10 years.

Email: See Resume.
I am mostly a self-taught Rust engineer who tried (unsuccessfully, so far) to build a cartography startup. But I still need a regular day job, even if everything goes well, but I have lots of experience in Rust by now. After school, I only had some training in government administration, but never wanted to work there. Learned C++ in my free type, then switched to Rust in 2017 to create my own GIS / graphics applications. That work resulted in the https://azul.rs GUI framework (still working on it).
I finished multiple smaller projects for the German government (had to get "some" job because I ran out of money building Azul), but sadly all my designs got rejected due to German bureaucracy. I am good at thinking through systems, ownership and understanding the entire product, as well as rendering, performance, Linux / open-source and software architecture.
Not interested in crypto or defense sector.

I found fltk-rs @ https://crates.io/crates/fltk was easy to install and use. Installation for new users is a nice feature.
