Anyway, it's great to know that you are watching the proceedings regarding WebAssembly, and already did some effort to get started !!!!
Just for enhancing your motivation :-) (of course this issue is more like a project related to the Lazarus or mse designers, but you are going to pave the way) :
IMHO this will be a great method to create (pure Pascal) applications that are split in a server based part and a browser based part.
A very desirable way to do so would be to use a GUI based IDE (such as Lazarus or mse) to create and test an application running locally, and then define "split points" and use some kind of standard communication protocol (i. e. rpc) library to split it up appropriately - just with some definitions, without really writing any additional code.
While the perfect splitting points of course depend on the application you are doing, one "simple" way would be to provide a server based application with a browser based remote GUI. (This might usually be called "Rich Internet Application".)
I know that mse features a tool called "ifi" to convert a normal "local" application into a remote-controlled application with a remote GUI. Here, the GUI part is an application created by mse/fpc, and able to connect to any backend application done with "ifi". Building on top of "ifi" it might be possible do have the "ifi-Browser" run in a Web-Browser using WebAssembly. ms like a very viable goal to me.
