⌘⃣F⃣ "todo" ⇒ 29 finds The binary and text representation sections still lack almost anything. This really seems like an early prototype.

Indeed; WebAssembly as a whole is still being designed. For example, it doesn't have an official text format yet, and while there is a binary format implemented in multiple browsers now, it's still evolving. The TODOs mark places where there are ongoing design discussions.

And the project is in search of a logo. You can find a bunch of proposals here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/112 https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/issues/112

  Some of these are atrocious... Do NOT let programmers design brand identities.

    Like two of them are pretty good though

    It's nothing to do with being a programmer - it's to do with not being a designer. Believe it or not some people are good at both.

As sunfish mentions below, this spec document is being conservative in describing things that are still being discussed. There are experimental implementations in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. See https://webassembly.github.io/demo/ https://webassembly.github.io/demo/. There's more information about the current binary format here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEncoding.md https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/BinaryEnco... There's a prototype spec interpreter here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/tree/master/ml-proto https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/tree/master/ml-proto There's a build waterfall testing multiple tools here: https://wasm-stat.us/console https://wasm-stat.us/console, including the experimental LLVM toolchain, the emscripten-wasm toolchain[0], binaryen[1], and sexpr-wasm[2]. WebAssembly is still under development, but I don't think it's fair to call it an early prototype.
