I'm not really equipped to predict anything, but I think recent surge in popularity of simple RISC-y[1] architectures like ARM will allow the WebAssembly standard to stay small yet efficient. I'm hopeful, but standards often have a way of not keeping up with the newest technology so we'll see.

- pjscott 5y agoI don't expect ARM to have much effect here. The wasm instruction set is basically a low-level compiler intermediate representation, and to go from that to machine code for x86 or ARM is about equally difficult in both cases.
