> Folks have been building sqlite3 for WASM since as far back as 2012 for *the web*, not for WASM. SQLite was initially compiled to simple javascript, then to asm.js when it appeared, then to WASM when it replaced asm.js :) The sql.js project is older than the idea of WASM itself. And I like to think it contributed to showing the potential of compiling native code to the browser, and in the creation of the WASM standard.
