Here's the list of sites using Webassembly:
https://madewithwebassembly.com/ https://madewithwebassembly.com/
The use-cases are all very niche stuff... some examples:
> https://avocode.com/ https://avocode.com/ much like Figma (which was written in C++) it's a heavy duty web app which involved a desktop-app like experience for working with graphical files
> Google Earth (obvious CPU-heavy non-traditional web stuff)
> various game engines and game-related stuff
> 1password uses it to "speed up their browser extension"
> PDFTron... PDF annotation app, so another Figma-like usecase
> some in-browser IDEs
So mostly it's just a) C++ type developers who don't want to learn JS for their hobby project b) it doesn't make sense for them to migrate their existing software to JS so they 'emulate' it c) it's some heavy-duty non-web-typical use-case.
I highly doubt it will ever serve a purpose beyond these niches. Which is fine... it's cool having the option but it's obviously not the first choice for any professional team targeting the web
