V8 just announced their intentions to support WASM:

@asajeffrey is currently experimenting with a pure-Rust implementation of the WASM runtime:

If it weren't for asajeffrey's experimenting efforts, I probably wouldn't have opened this since this would otherwise be a SpiderMonkey tracking issue. So if people think this tracking issue is not appropriate in Servo, feel free to close this, but it might be nice to have it to follow along on the progress.

I'm happy to have a Servo issue for this. Issues with the Rust wasm implementation should be tracked at https://github.com/asajeffrey/wasm.

I haven't been keeping up on the WASM mailing lists. Do people know of any projects or modules that people have made to support this in Servo or Rust land?
