Last I looked I could not find a garbage collection solution for wasm, and that seems to be a barrier to entry. I know the mono-team has had some success by porting all of Mono to Wasm but that seems a bit heavy handed just to get VB.Net or C# language to compile down to wasm.

It's not a now solution - but from the trajectory you can see where this likely ends. It may even be the case that the current WASM specification does not support everything needed for that to happen.
But if you look at the DOM and what Anders Hejlsberg was working on 25+ years ago with early Delphi - you can see a potential real step change from WASM - especially for enterprise tech to bring back some of that VB magic.
