    I’m not sure why the WASM creator(s) didn’t take advantage of the existing java bytecode and JVM instead of reimplementing it. Might’ve sped up its adoption. Doesn’t matter to me though, as long as JS stops being the #1 in web development.

      Java bytecode is designed specifically for class-oriented languages like Java and works terribly with anything else.

      Why would they? WASM is Web-Assembly, so Assembly is a lower level language than Java.

      You can use C# WASM through Blazor, and Java WASM though JWebAssembly. WASM as core is supposed to be language agnostic. So If you want a JVM in WASM you can build it on top of it
