Blazor - .net equivalent of java's GWT, Vaadin. Nice to see that they are jumping into WA compared to all the other "open" languages/libraries/frameworks.

WebAssembly, unlike Blazor, has nothing to do with .NET. Microsoft is merely taking advantage of a developing technology.

In addition GWT compiled forever and produced fat & heavy JavaScript, again nothing like WebAssembly.

The major question going forward would be how bloated the relevant webassembly files generated at the end would be.

So far C#, as well as C++, are showing near native speeds.

Probably reinventing all the history and evolution of development for the computer itself - First very close to the machine and with time - further and more bloated, with the slight difference - the target platform/environment is the Web (Browser).
