As I understand it, this paves the way for .NET based wasm implementations. Exciting stuff!

.NET already runs on WASM, see: https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor

Although I personally don't think it's a good idea to build HTML UI's with C#, which adds overhead + friction.

Blazor currently runs on Mono. CoreRT might allow it to run on .net core

Yep, seems like the Mono impl was more mature, you can read a bit more about this decision here https://github.com/aspnet/Blazor/issues/286#issuecomment-373...

The important part is that it's AOT compiled into WASM so it can run in the browser which is what you can do now with Blazor.

no, blazor uses a Mono version that interprets at runtime .NET. AOT is in the pipeline though
