but why, if you have plenty of good languages to do this? Wasm is good for browsers because only choice we have is js.

I'm ignorant of the details, but WASM is an assembly language that's designed from the ground up for running untrusted code. It will also have multiple independent open source implementations, which has some nice properties.

WASM can be good for other things too. It is portable and fairly easy to target. It's like asking "why emscripten of you have plenty of other languages to choose from, LLVM is good for executables"
