Understand the businesses case.
WASM is a modern Flash replacement. Flash was successful because it solved many technical problems the more primitive web technologies could not. JS can do just about everything now as fast as can be imagined so if WASM is to be successful it must solve a wildly different technology problem.
Bottom line: WASM needs to be a thing people commonly desire for outside the browser. If WASM can do that it will be just as successful inside the browser. If not nobody will care except developers sad about JavaScript, and sufficient adoption will fail because sad about JavaScript is not a qualified business case.
