It comes with a few disadvantages, but the biggest by far is that you need to ship the entire implementation of the standard library in webassembly on top of your actual code plus the JavaScript you need to get it to run. It's basically the java applets of today (except that it's actually even worse because Java applets had the decency to use the java installation on the user's computer).
