I like web-assembly for the same reason I like Rust, actor-model and compile time checked state machines. It makes it more plausible that we can build robust services in the future. And it even feels like Computer Engineering when I'm working with these concepts. To me the web-assembly runtime is the next iteration of isolated applications, after containers which came after VMs, and I'm sure HN could come up with a bigger picture, but this is OK for my purpose.
And I know nothing about browsers, GUI and front-end stuff, but Web-assembly is never the less very interesting for me, and I consider it the biggest thing since Docker.
