Emscripten let you do that too, compiling to asm.js. WebAssembly certainly is an improvement, but it's not like you couldn't do this at all before.
And heck, even without that, there are languages that transpile directly to JavaScript.
- monocularvision 8y agoLook at the comment I was responding to: I wasn’t claiming there weren’t other ways to do this. I was responding to the question as to why you might use wasm over JS. I understand it was based on previous efforts like asm.js. Also, for several languages, specifically those based on LLVM, the path to wasm is much clearer than compiling to JS.
