Thanks, a lot of credits go to LDC for supporting the webassembly 
backend of LLVM.

I thought about doing a VM as well, specifically because I was 
afraid of the performance penalty of switching a lot between js 
and wasm. The idea was to emit all dom operations into one 
bytebuffer (possibly at compile-time) and then instruct js to 
execute that.

It turns out jumping between wasm and js isn't really a big deal 
(at least not anymore), so I ditched that idea to keep things 
simple.

Plus, there is a good chance that in the near future wasm will be 
able to call the browsers' api directly.
