Is this article written for website building studios and startups? It can't be for browser vendors because he mentions WebAssembly and compile-to-js languages.

Author here. It is written for software developers that are developing full-featured web applications, like those used with SAAS implementations and ports of desktop equivalents. Not as much for developers building web sites that are decorated with more simple JavaScript.

Thanks. It was a little ambiguous in that regard.

I think the browser is only just starting to accommodate web developent in other languages. Until asm.js came about the advice was you had to learn js to understand runtime performance of any code running on the web and that languages that closely resembled js were easier to optimize and debug in the browser environment.
