I think WASM is filling in that gap to some extent. From the spec:

> Any interaction with the environment, such as I/O, access to resources, or operating system calls, can only be performed by invoking functions provided by the embedder and imported into a WebAssembly module

And IIRC, the core instruction set is reasonably compact.
