Not just web. There are a lot of efforts getting WebAssembly to run outside the browser. This could be an alternative to Electron for cross platform desktop applications.
Depending on use case, WebAssembly might even be an alternative to Java on servers. Go already supports cross platform compilations, so the use case for Go on WebAssembly on a server isn't as obvious. At least, not for those of us who value simplicity or performance. On the other hand, most of us didn't see Javascript on servers coming either, so I wouldn't rule it out.
