We could call it … WebAssembly! And now it’s a C compilation target, which means we can run Node.js in the browser, to get a javascript runtime :)

Isn't that the other way around? Developing for the web in assembly is not the same as running assembly on a browser.

Usually when people are talking about web development in assembly they mean development back end applications.

Does node have wasm support yet? Corporations have been looking for a way to stack performance degradation on the web to an arbitrary degree. The Node running on wasm running on node running on wasm running on node running on wasm running in the browser stack could get so hot.
