I also have to add, that I think that WASM is the wrong approach - basically I get what they were going for but they should've either merged the JS and WASM 'worlds' so that these 2 pieces of code can interact without any friction, and are handled by the same VM. This would've allowed things like gradually compiling a JS codebase to WASM.

Alternatively, the should've stuck with the NaCL approach of two separate, isolated worlds, with maximum compatibility and peformance for native code.
