WebAssembly doesn't actually have anything to do with LLVM. There's a LLVM backend that can generate it, but that's no different from how emscripten acts as a LLVM -> asm.js pipeline.



PNaCL is based on LLVM - if WebAssembly doesn't use that technology then what's the connection to PNaCL?


A lot of useful information from PNaCl has informed WebAssembly, and a bunch of the same developers are involved.
