I thought the idea of web assembly was not to compile to javascript, but
to compile to byte code..

We already have tons of tools that compile to javascript, so what would be
the difference between those tools and web assembly..

i.e. I thought ( could be mistaken ) that web assembly put little chunks
of assembly like code in your HTML. Almost like assembly language but
higher level.

Does it really compile just to plain javascript? I thought the idea was to
actually create a new assembly like instruction language and not use
javascript language
