WASM support as in "you can run stuff you can run in GraalVM on WASM" or as in "you can run WASM on GraalVM"? I assume the latter, which is, frankly, relatively unimpressive. It would have been pretty amazing to be able to run everything available in Graal in the browser - but yep, Graal is not a standard, and I'm not sure it could ever be put into one (because of the insane complexity and implementation effort I suspect in there). Would still have been cool, though, one can dream.
WASM will still end up being a pretty universal platform however, with it being everyone's compilation target. A lot like Java, but maybe without some of the mistakes.
