Different programming languages exist for many reasons, only one of which is syntax. Many of these reasons relate to data structures and runtime control flow. WASM won't be able to "solve" these issue any better than the JVM, Parrot, or CLR did. (Spoiler: they didn't, and WASM won't.)
I endorse this point of view, from hard-won experience.
(Also: memory model. Always memory model.)
