I work with some people who are working on Iodide [1] which is a Jupyter style notebook thing that runs entirely in the browser, they've already ported Python to WebAssembly [2][3] so you can use it as a language.
I've been watching efforts to port Lua to WebAssembly (the official VM looks simple enough, but luajit won't be easy) because I want to have an app that shares code with the browser, and it would be awesome to play with WebAssembly as the plugin system of choice on the backend.
I'm also super excited for nebulet[1], which is a micro-kernel experiment using WebAssembly in Ring 0, which is pretty neat.
I'm really excited to see where WebAssembly can go. I know many of these projects will peter out, but it's exciting nonetheless.

Absolutely. On the Lua front someone made a PoC to add Lua as a language for Iodide [1] using Fengari [2] which (while I haven't used it yet) definitely looks interesting. Hadn't heard of Nebulet before but will definitely be following it now. Cheers!
