The parallels with the JVM are obvious on multiple levels. In case of WASM I'm curious specifically about cross-language portability. We have learned from the JVM that while technically possible it may not be a popular choice. Java/Kotlin/Scala ecosystems diverged quickly. So WASM could become a browser technology the way JVM became a strictly server-side thing. Or allow backend developers build frontend applications in a language they are used to. On a related note, there's something funny about everyone stacking on top of each other. At some point Java will be probably compiled to WASM. You already can go in the other direction with https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/wasm/ https://www.graalvm.org/22.0/reference-manual/wasm/ . And GraalVM itself is designed to support a wide range of programming languages.
