Great info, thanks for sharing! So, to summarize:
Performance will get a bit better for WebAssembly 1.0, but we'll need a WebAssembly 2.0 (for lack of a better term) to realize major performance improvements. And/Or we'll need advancements in JIT technology.
Beyond that, there will always be some limitations because of the Javascript interop requirements.
And, as other threads here have pointed out... maybe who cares? It's still pretty fast!
