I've seen some pretty interesting things like the use of Rust for front end development, like yew[1] and Seed[2].
There aren't many languages that are practical for WASM output. Scripting and managed languages need to ship their interpreters and runtimes with their WASM blobs, and can end up relatively large. JavaScript's interpreter and runtime are baked into every browser already.
That leaves only compiled and unmanaged languages for potentially good WASM targets. As mentioned before, Rust is seeing a lot development in that space. If LLVM can compile it, then Emscripten can output it to WASM.
