The Importance of WebAssembly for Zig Compilers

The motivation here is you want to be able to build the Zig. compiler, using Zig, from any individual commit in the repo without needing people to have a previous version of zig installed. WebAssembly solves all those things because it's cross-platform and portable. Because WebAssembly virtual machine is so simple, you can actually implement your own interpreter for that in a couple of weeks.
