I understand that. I'm not saying WASM isn't of interest. On the contrary, since I'm currently implementing language support for WASM, I'd say it's very important.
What I am saying is that it is Java VM 2.0. The java ISA was perfectly fine. People knew how it worked, there was lots of tooling, etc. Instead of building off that, they made something new... just because. WASM is technically inferior to java, and is based upon the same basic principles. It's just like java bytecode in the 90s. It's not even done yet. This is a terrible mess.
