Is libsoduim written in a low level language like c or did they compile javascript down to webassembly somehow? It wasn't clear from the article. At least my reading of it.

libsodium is written in c. "Pure javascript" is a supported compilation target[0] of the project. Emscripten is used to compile the c to javascript. There's also now a wasm compilation target, again via emscripten. The c source code is really excellent[1]. It's worth browsing!
