There’s a cunning workaround for this challenge; rather than compiling JS to Wasm, you can instead compile a JavaScript engine to WebAssembly then use that to execute your code.

Wasmer

You can see this paying off with wapm, which lets you download applications that would have normally required compilation for your environment and run them anywhere with a supported runtime, which is imo pretty neat.

Lunatic

There are other interesting applications too, like Lunatic, which replicates the BEAM VM experience but with any language that compiles to wasm and can have language bindings written for it.
