Are we WASM yet?

I recently posted this in a different thread:

If I were building a new IF system today, I’d use WASM as the VM and build a DSL that compiles to it and a web-based front end that interacts with the WASM code through a standardised API.

You could even split the two parts of this and just standardise on an IF-centred API (e.g. with a set of functionality similar to Glk), and allow people to produce a WASM chunk which interacts with it using whatever WASM-producing tool they like (I’m a big fan of IF-specific languages, but this way someone more familiar with e.g. C++ could write their IF in that and still drop it into an existing interface).
