WASM is more of a compiler target, not a language at the level of C or Java: its something you'd compile to from C.

That doesn't forbid WASM to have a nice graphical debugger, like most CPUs have.
WASM can already be debugged with the browser-integrated debuggers, source maps can map back to the original files.
