.NET on WebAssembly could be a really interesting escape hatch for companies that have heavily invested in .NET apps and want to move away from Windows. Right now downloading the whole framework is a prohibitively large task, but for internal apps it would probably be fine. Port something WinForms-ish over as well and those apps could be cross platform with not much work.

Wouldn't .net core just be that escape hatch?

Are you talking about cross-platform desktop apps? This has been an unsolved problem for a long time with many attempts, with Electron running web stacks getting the farthest at this point.

Blazor is interesting in that respect but you can already use Electron today with JS and .NET Core powering the backend.
