Why would that be ironic?

It's essentially the route Java is taking with graal/truffle - allowing heterogeneous mix of languages to be compiled and optimized.

Why not allow typescript to use Fortran numeric libraries via wasm?

JavaScript in Deno doesn't itself run on top of WebAssembly, so this isn't really quite like Graal. If you use Deno to run wasm, all the JS bits are basically ignored. It's a bit like using a web renderer solely for <canvas>.
