I could see this functioning really well with webworker once some sort of thread-safe representation is in place for quickly moving objects in/out of said worker... Would be a pretty clean separation of WebAssembly code, and the DOM accessible code by convention... even if sticking to object serialization (JSON), it would be pretty clean...

With IE9 support slipping, it seems to be a no-brainer in terms of support at this point too [1].

I'm also thinking this could be a huge win once it hits node.js (v6?), as this could be a great answer to better binary module support. As binary modules are a bit of a pain to support, and prebuilt binary modules are in a hodge-podge state.
