Both Rust and emscripten do produce notably large output. On the Rust side it's true that the emscripten port won't use jemalloc, but instead the emscripten malloc (which presumably is better tuned for its environment). Also the wasm format's main design goal is to reduce binary size.


WebAssembly will have a binary format with a 20-30% reduction size than its gzipped asm.js counterpart[1], for context :)
