For the record, Static Hermes fully supports compiling JS to WASM. We get it basically for free, because it is an existing LLVM backend. See https://x.com/tmikov/status/1706138872412074204 for example.
Admittedly, it is not our focus, we are focusing mainly on React Native, where WASM doesn't make sense.
The most important feature of Static Hermes is our type checker, which guarantees runtime soundness.
Porffor is very interesting, I have been watching it for some time and I am rooting for it.
