WASM has some interesting properties, like sandboxing, a small set of instructions you can fit in your head and some fairly high level constructs (for a compilation target).
However I don't quite know what other benefits it provides. It certainly cannot compete with the JVM/CLR on many fronts. And I don't see quite a lot of use-cases yet that cannot be covered with just integrating V8. Happy to learn more about that (actual rationales).
