The reason wasm is like this is that with "normal" control flow chrome would have had to implement itself the relooper algorithm internally before the MVP release.
Overall the main negative point seems to be that compilers toward wasm are more complex, but under the constraints of the web moving complexity from the client looks like a valuable positive point.
Two other negative points would possibly be performance and code size (which is the reason for a if-then-else specific instruction for example) about which I know very little. Do you think it would have made a difference here?
