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."

“Introduction — WebAssembly 1.0”. webassembly.github.io. 18 June 2019閲覧。 “... this specification is complemented by additional documents defining interfaces to specific embedding environments such as the Web. These will each define a WebAssembly application programming interface (API) suitable for a given environment.”
“Introduction — WebAssembly 1.1”. webassembly.github.io. 2021年2月19日閲覧。 “Its main goal is to enable high performance applications on the Web, but it does not make any Web-specific assumptions or provide Web-specific features, so it can be employed in other environments as well.”
"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
"This document is concerned with the core ISA layer of WebAssembly. ... It does not, however, define how WebAssembly programs can interact with a specific environment they execute in" WebAssembly Specification Release 1.1 (Draft, Mar 12, 2021) 2021-03-26閲覧
