Like Silverlight but WASM? Hope it shares the same fate.

Seems like it it isn’t related to Silverlight at all.

I think the parent comment is calling out some concerns that wasm may enable some of the same shenanigans that silver light did. By being compiled code and operating somewhat outside the browser it could be used to lock down more of the browser.
