No. Variety breeds better products and WebAssembly is a pretty different thing from the JDK. You might as well say that web assembly competes with LLVM. I don't see anyone adding Java back into the browsers, that ship probably sailed. I also have a huge problem with the litigious nature of Oracle... However, this would mean that something was settled and might reduce the likelyhood of future lawsuits especially in regards to patents or copyright. WebAssembly didn't go thru that process which might mean that if it picks up some anonymous patent holder might start attacking it. It is vendor neutral though, which is both a plus and a legal liability as there is no single "responsible" entity.
