Nice... One step closer to the Isomorphic stack. I was wondering when Javascript would be WASM compatible, looks like once again, Typescript beat them to it.
I'm not sure I got your comment right, but as far as I know, you could execute WASM through JavaScript pretty much since WebAssembly got released.
Also, TypeScript compiles to JavaScript, which is the only way you can run TypeScript in the browser or with NodeJS.
In the example I gave, we compile AssemblyScript to WebAssembly and TypeScript to JavaScript, which essentially lets us run the WASM in JS.
JS gets compiled to a WebAssembly-like bytecode which then gets interpreted. What WebAssembly gives us is the opportunity to skip this first compilation step, hence the better performance.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

I didn't realize Javascript compiled to native code.
