Wasm is not basically assembler, it's (going to be) very high level: - https://github.com/WebAssembly/reference-types https://github.com/WebAssembly/reference-types - https://github.com/webassembly/threads https://github.com/webassembly/threads - https://github.com/WebAssembly/exception-handling https://github.com/WebAssembly/exception-handling - https://github.com/WebAssembly/function-references https://github.com/WebAssembly/function-references - https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc https://github.com/WebAssembly/gc Though it is true that the original MVP was very barebone and could be compared to assembler.
