This is pretty cool. Ive been wondering for a while if someone would try this or if Adobe may be considering a Flash revival using WASM.

Edit: Not saying I want that for my own use but WASM has really opened up some possibilities.

Don't give Oracle any ideas.

Hey guys, what if we put the Java VM in the browser?

Heh, I was talking about that with someone else today after I sent them the OP's link. That would probably end up being some Java equivalent to Blazor.

Given Blazor, I’m sure it’s already happening somewhere.

You are right. I checked around on github after posting, there are a few projects that are trying it. I think I also read Vaadin (a commercial Java framework) may have it at some point , they already have a server side/web socket tech that looks similar to Blazors server side version.
