Yeah I'm super excited about Rust's new webasm compiler, as well as some new-ish stuff with .Net that works without Emscripten.

I get the ecosystem is super young, but it was honestly what kept me from playing with Webasm for a while, because each time I'd sit down to play with it I'd be in for a 3 hour compile after spending an hour getting my windows machine to have the right compilers and not stomping over other things I have setup on here.

Sounds like you were seeing an old emscripten SDK bug, where it compiled LLVM+clang unnecessarily and with debug info (which is very slow).

Currently there shouldn't be anything like that, it will download a binary build of LLVM+clang for your system. It should be ready to use immediately after that download.
