"has a faster startup time"
Just as an idle muse, I wonder if that's true. Java's startup time on a 133MHz Pentium running on spinning rust is one thing, JS starting up on a multicore multigigahertz monster backed by an SSH is quite another. I wonder if the WASM startup really is any faster than Java in some absolute sense?
Kinda like how "Go has a fast compiler" if you compare it to modern compilers on modern workloads, but is beaten handily by Turbo Pascal... as long as you don't mind that the output of the Turbo Pascal compiler is a wee bit out of date.
