  Now with WASM, a good way to go through this paper is to generate WASM instead of the suggested Assembly and use WASM constructs as macros.

    Can you clarify "use WASM constructs as macros"? Here's a repo with working test scripts and the tutorial pdf: https://github.com/namin/inc https://github.com/namin/inc

      WASM text variant is Lisp based, so one could build on top of it, just like many Lisp constructs happen to be macros on top of a very tiny set of primitives.
