> Let's say I want to interactively plot some complicated function without slowing down the rest. Can I do this in WebAssembly now?
You've been able to do that for a while now and it would likely be fast enough even in pure JavaScript. The things which tend to slow the web down come back to developers not caring about performance (and thus not even measuring) or the cross-purposes of things like ad sales where a significant amount of JavaScript is deployed to do things the user doesn't care about.
