I wonder, whether someone is trying to program in WebAssembly directly and what will be the size of the programs in this case.

Because, if we are talking about the CPU assembly language programming, it usually gives huge amount of size and speed improvement.

The program mentioned in the article is relatively simple. If imagine we want to implement it as a desktop application in Linux or Windows, my estimation is that it easily can be fit in less than 1KB and the main limitation factor will be the executable file format, not the code itself.
