The progress being made on WebAssembly so far is impressive:

They're supposedly participating but WebAssembly in a webview would make a pretty good platform for many types of apps that want to download code that currently can only use JS.⬐ TazeTSchnitzel⬐ rayiner> WebAssembly in a webview would make a pretty good platform for many types of apps that want to download code that currently can only use JS.Nitro can handle asm.js pretty well, I don't see why Apple would cripple wasm.
I'm reminded of PG's quote that "there have been two really clean, consistent models of programming so far: the C model and the Lisp model." While the Lisp model may be better for a programming language, the C model is arguably better as a universal substrate. WebAssembly is a C machine model for the web, complete with sbrk(). It's worth perusing the design docs, it looks very sensibly designed: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design.
