WebAssembly is indeed innovative, especially in the field of security. Another great concept is normalized control flow graph of WebAssembly byte code - it significantly simplifies the job for interpreters and JIT compilers at run time.

But WebAssembly (wasm32) code density is not the world's best. Comparing to good old x64 it goes at 1.42/1.0 ratio which is still tolerable. I hope someday we'll get a more dense instruction set like ARM's Thumb.




So what does it offer versus CLR, IBM i and z/OS security models?
