It is an open standard specifically designed for embedding in multiple contexts, and we expect that stand-alone implementations will become available in the future."

"The design goals of WebAssembly are the following ... Fast: executes with near native code performance ... Safe: code is validated and executes in a memory-safe, sandboxed environment ... Hardware-independent ... Language-independent ... Platform-independent: can be embedded in browsers, run as a stand-alone VM, or integrated in other environments" WebAssembly Specification Release 1.1 (Draft, Mar 12, 2021) 2021-03-26閲覧
