So we circle back to app servers like Java EE WAR/EAR stuff.

With the exception that Wasm apps are based on a open standard, almost any language can target it, are more lightweight, and they can also run on the browser :)

I’m not sure I agree with the lightweight point. WebAssembly is missing features needed by many high-level languages. As a result, they have to resort to less than ideal tricks. For example, C# on WebAssembly runs using an interpreter even though normally it is JIT compiled.

Agreed, although at some point in a not very far feature most of those missing features will resolved. So in my mind is just a matter of time.

The Wasm Community group is doing an awesome work on that :)

Ikr? Enter weblogic/websphere java ee (bleh)
