Would WebAssembly boost JavaScript's value as a "backend language" (I assume you mean a compiler target, rather than a server-side language?)?
I thought the point of WebAssembly was to stop people compiling to JS, by offering an alternative standard language/bytecode which is specifically designed to be a compiler target, rather than a human readable/writable language.
