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.
