Java doesn't provide a sufficient security model for running arbitrary C/C++-like code, which is the entire purpose of WebAssembly. Drop that and all the new use cases will just go back to asm.js instead.

That's... not Java or the JVM providing the security model. It's impressive but it's not a comparable solution to WebAssembly.
