I am not sure what WebAssembly has to do with "breaking the monopoly Javascript has had on this space". It always has been possible to target JavaScript from your compiler. Sure, WebAssembly is a better compiler target, but it does not enable anything. For example, ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript. Clojure didn't need WebAssembly to do so.
