All of these are speculation about the future. Most have nothing to do with webasm at all. The first is about webgl (that has nothing to do with webasm) The second is about using javascript with intel speculative execution exploits. The third is grasping at straws, saying that call center scams would be more obsfuscated, even though javascript or asm.js can be just as obsfuscated, if not more. The fourth is about crashes in the webasm JIT The last is about -theoretically- executing arbitrary javascript. Heavens no. What is the real reason you have some crazy crusade against webasm? You go to great lengths to grasp at any straws you can. It isn't that big of a deal. It is a more direct way to JIT cpu intensive parts of a web page. Get over it. Incredibly, the alternative is to run actual native instructions by downloading a binary.

  To be clear, because you have seen other VMs, you are desperate to spread complete misinformation and lies about webasm? Funneling your own frustrations into lying and spreading false information on the internet is not something a reasonable, emotionally healthy person does. Think about all the other people that do that in other areas of discussion. Those are your peers when you do this.

    I am not desperate at all, it is no different than WebAssembly advocates spreading false information about its "safety" or novelty. In fact I rejoice that WebAssembly, despite all the attempts to be presented as safe and novel, is becoming the mechanism to bring back to life all the plugins that where killed in name of WebAssembly. I will give 5 years time for WebGL/WebGPU + WebAssembly to rule the majority of multimedia driven websites, with a new generation of Flash like tooling. Then you call tell the world how much safer and novel WebAssembly is.
