However:

As a side note I want to point out that it is actually quite feasible to hand-write WASM in the text representation WAT.
It has some high level control constructs, type checking, some unique safety guarantees and a simple memory model.
Writing some (simple) programs in WAT and possibly a small language compiler for WASM is quite educational, fun and can be inspiring.
It can also build a more grounded intuition for the performance characteristics of WASM.
