Those languages are very much designed around the JVM though. You have Scala, but not eg: C++, because the JVM itself is much higher level than what many languages would want to target.

The GraalVM JVM can run LLVM bitcode, hence C++:

Arguably, JVM languages have much better tooling for them to be designed and interoperable (through Truffle and GraalVM) than WASM where everyone has to write a backend (or use LLVM which has its downsides).
