What Hacker News says?
TIL that there's a format called wat, which means "WebAssembly text format" and it can be converted to wasm (and back to wat). This format uses S-expressions like lisp, and it's got a stack machine like forth. [1] [2] I'm a bit surprised something so mainstream ended up being a lispy forth.
