WASM does seem to be on the road to eventually being a better JS.

I wish WASM was AST based instead of stack based architecture.

What does that statement mean? As far as i know stack VS AST is Apple VS. Oranges. If you meant a register based architecture that would make sense. I don't know is wasm code is verifiable, in which case it's trivial to rewrite it to a register like architecture (like dalvik does for jvm bytecode).
