Ok, considering that it comes from VMware, I think they aim to create some kind of a multi-architectural execution environment that can host apps in a hardware-independent way on multiple clustered nodes.
I applaud this development but at the same time any kind of run-time code translation imposes performance penalties. WASM is not exception. It would be enlightening to hear the authors' stance on this topic. CPU utilization factor is a big thing for hosting companies, so they will be hesitant to use something like this in production.
