Still waiting for direct DOM/HTML5 API access. Then you could use any language that compiles to WASM as a front-end language. Until then, WASM is of limited interest to me.

EDIT: I mean, why wouldn't that be one of the first items on the agenda of WASM? I was surprised when I found out that this seemingly isn't high on the list of priorities. If WASM is meant exclusively for high performance sections of code, it makes more sense, but that's a bit dull if you ask me. The ability to use any compiled language as a front-end language is far more interesting.
