To be honest, I would even consider C for WASM despite my usual rants, after all with the security sales pitch for Webassembly it shouldn't matter after all.

Agreed, without the risk of memory corruption and the associated security risks, C can be used without too much hesitation (as long as your complicated pointer code doesn't break your own data structures and mess up your program, of course!).

I think it would be a challenge to compile all dependencies for a fully features C program into WASM, but if you pick your libraries well, C could be an excellent language for speeding up complex calculations in Javascript.
