For the reverse, I wrote a WASM-to-JVM compiler: https://github.com/cretz/asmble.

I think WASM has the ability for us to finally cross the language boundaries without marrying ourselves to C/C++ ABI. But at this early stage, there's no common stdlib for all languages to share.

That's really interesting! How does calling WASM code on the JVM work?

And also in addition to a stdlib, maybe a great package management system. Is there a popular crate / maven / npm etc equivalent out there for wasm yet?

There is also a WASM to Java source transpiler: https://github.com/wrmsr/wava
