C++ compiled to wasm is just java with extra steps.

I totally agree but there are two differences:

- WASM will be available even more places than the JVM

- way more languages will target WASM than ever did the JVM

Personally, I cannot wait for a WASM future.

Being able to target WASM for the 90% of apps that it is fast enough for and being able to use the same language and libraries to target native when required….is going to be awesome.

I really like the CLR. A more widely adopted version of something similar ( WASM ) is attractive.

And this ignoring all the bytecode environments that have existed since the 1960's.
