It would be interesting to try for some apples-to-apples comparisons for the parse and initial exec time of js vs wasm. The latter was designed with the goal of streaming validation and compilation, js needs to have a lot of work done before it can load.
Which strongly suggests to me that intuitions about KBs-of-JS vs KBs-of-Wasm are likely to be wrong, especially as the state of wasm implementations improves.
