Shameless plug: we solved the opposite problem, running any Java application in the browser via WebAssembly: https://labs.leaningtech.com/blog/cheerpj-4.3

And yes, it does run Minecraft as well :-) https://browsercraft.cheerpj.com/

But can it run Endive?
Not something I tried myself, but conceptually if it's Java it should work.

CheerpJ Just-In-Time compiles Java bytecode at runtime, so it makes no difference if the classes come from JAR files or are dynamically generated.

How close are we to the birth and death of yavascript?

I wonder what the performance loss is for each level?
Mmhh should work for clojure as well then. I should try this.
I can confirm non-Java languages work as expected. I've personally tried Kotlin, and IIRC some user from the community reported Clojure to be working as well.
