Blazor Support
I'm convinced we can get SOMETHING working here.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/blazor/webassembly-native-dependencies?view=aspnetcore-9.0
There are various wasm libc implementations that do things. Like emscripten? Virtual file system.... maybe we can get /lib loading from there? Sure lots of stuff won't work. But basic Java libraries running? Probably.
Great, this will be game changer not only for ikvm, but other native libraries to be made available for blazor
A Java platform on WebAssembly is quite interesting. The only other one I know of is CheerpJ (and I could be wrong but I believe that us actually Linux x86 Java on an optimized [i.e., designed to only run the one specific target] WebAssembly virtual x86 Linux sandbox). I am not sure if OpenJDK/HotSpot, OpenJ9 or GraalVM supports WebAssembly as a native target but that too would prove interesting.

there is also TeaVM's WASM GC backend which isn't a conventional JVM as its AOT

True but TeaVM seems stuck on Apache license unwilling to look at OpenJDK so their classlib is surely lacking. I am sure IKVM is also behind in some respects (certainly it does not support Java 24; the most recent Java as of now) but at least the project seems willing to look into such things (albeit slowly).
