Its definitely meant to make javascript more capable. Currently while you can do some things with webaudio for example, with WASM you can use complex DSP, you can also build out valuable audio code that you want to keep locked down in binary format where someone getting your algorithm could do damage to your business but in the case of a webaudio DAW the code can't be run on the server.
