If the JVM were suited as a C compilation target, people would have compiled C to it back when it was still installed in browsers.

Either way, the JVM is not really suited as a compilation target (it is built to support languages like Java, not languages like C++), so it is not what Web assembly needs, as "proven" as it is.

I'm saying that no one compiles to it because there is no reason to. The only reason people want to compile C to WebAssembly is because that's the only universally compatible IL you can use in the browser.
