(one of the authors of Spin here, and a WebAssembly enthusiast.)

There are, of course, a lot of similarities between the Java or .NET runtimes and WebAssembly, and other comments made excellent points about the lower level nature of Wasm, or the isolation sandbox.

I would also point out that there are significantly more languages that either have support for compiling to WebAssembly today, or that have started adding support (in the last month alone there were initial announcements for Python, Ruby, and .NET, for example).
