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.
This meme isn't to be taken seriously

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Java 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
Java makes bytecode which is run in a JVM, WASM is bytecode which runs in a VM.

CC BY-NC-SA 4.0Java makes things run in a VM
Docker makes things run in a VM
Virtualbox makes things run in a VM
Why did we need any of those things, should have just put everything in Java instead right ๐
All software should be made to run in SCUMMVM.
Now that's meme-worthy!
