From my understanding one use case is Transpiling into Web Assembly. The tooling isn't there yet, but you can hopefully use it instead of JavaScript and get some type safety and performance.

Sure you can use a language like TypeScript or one of the others that will transpile down to JavaScript giving you type safety, but you won't have the performance of web assembly. Although, I've yet to see what you'll need that performance for. A few of my co-workers are excited about it, but I've been pressing them, we don't need that level of performance on the SPA type stuff we write.

I think having web assembly will give you new avenues and use cases people haven't fully considered yet.

It's actually compiling to wasm..no more transpilling

Sorry, I wasn't clear. So instead of writing WebAssembly, you can write another language such as C# that will get compiled into wasm.
