The whole WASM thing just went sideways from the start. It feels like the property of being practically unreadable and unwritable for humans was a design criterium, it is certainly the primary "feature" enabled by the stack approach.

Then there is the single array of memory that makes modern memory allocators not really work, resulting in every WASM compiler scrounging up something that mashes the assumptions of the source language into a single array.
