If your language is supported by LLVM, then Emscripten can compile it to WASM.

Yes, but for interpreted language 'X', are the created artifacts of a practical size to send down the wire for an actual production site? The idea being that as WASM adds higher level primitives, that size gets smaller.

Sorry, I misread your comment. I thought you wrote that only "small languages", or Lua, can be compiled to WASM.
