For which browser? It isn't implemented, is it?

You got your wish, they just exposed webasm through v8 a couple days ago:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=575167#c13

It should show up in the latest Chrome Canary builds soon, where it can be turned on through chrome://flags. I'm unsure how you'd actually pass webasm to v8 though, probably have to dig through the tests to figure that out.

Now that it's in a browser and llvm has a WebAssembly target, as mentioned in yawniek's link above, porting D to use webasm through ldc might make a good GSoC project, with the caveat that all the webasm tools are under development.

For any students interested, here's a good WebAssembly overview I just saw:
