Nice, but I think that only in rather extreme situations it would be worthwhile to write web app in C++.

Can someone knowledgeable enough about wasm tell how difficult is to call libraries written in another language compared to normal nonweb programming (say calling C library from Python)?

Maybe useful for getting existing desktop applications running in the browser?
