I remember running good old text WebAssembly about 7 years ago, which is admittedly cool - I was even waiting for Chrome to support it before I gave up on that. I remember how people had to ship a gzip-ed Unreal engine on the web for the first version;

My quip is how the C++ community miserably failed to ship a portable object that could have been used for module based compilation / linking without the AST generation overhead.

Unless wasm really becomes the package/intermediate standard for code, I wouldn't really regard it as useful yet. It would be another Java for me.
