While I know it's nice that you could open the source and explore, I don't see how people could value it above all the upsides WebAssembly is bringing us.

Can't link resources. Can't spider it. It's going to look like native app silos. Truly, Flash 2.0. As long as wasm has no GC, and JS requires GC, I'm not sure how well this will work though.
