I see no reason why it wouldn't end up getting adoption on the backend as well and we're basically looking at another write once run anywhere bytecode. Only unlike the JVM, WASM actually has / will have frontend adoption. Seems like it could also make sort of electron style universal apps actually be viable as well. Lots of cool possibilities in a future where WASM takes off.
