WebAssembly is a compilation target (like JVM Bytecode). You need an IDE for the source language, not the target.

That's his/her point; they were trying to point out why Flash and WebAssembly aren't analogous.. Flash was a cohesive toolchain; not a build target.

Exactly. So the patent can compare WebAssembly to ActionScript byte code or swf binary format not to Flash.
