Webassembly's performance is according to the reference about 10% less
than native.
code. https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jangda
In the sense I don't think that argument "lower performance" stands
there.
I would like to have Emacs in Webassembly. Somebody is already working
in that direction with Emacs fork: https://github.com/emacs-ng/emacs-ng
Regarding "web security policies, I would not know what it means.
If there is Emacs in Webassembly, it gives me freedom to operate my
business remotely. Security is provided by SSL and username/password
related to the database that I would access.
