Graal is interesting, but if the ultimate goal is to escape from the JVM for production to be more efficient, maybe that means we can keep JVM style language like Kotlin and just go Native directly (Kotlin/Native) or using an ubiquitous bytecode designed for efficiency hence Kotlin/WebAssembly for mobile/iot/cloud.

Also Graal or Kotlin/Native provide no universal deployment format, only WebAssembly can solve that.

I see your point. My intent when I say WebAssembly is more to refer to WebAssembly ecosystem that includes runtime, WASM bytecode, WASI, etc.

Yeah + it would be a good fit with "the device where you run your application should be just configuration" principle that will gain traction is upcoming years IMO
