<!-- Please try to describe precisely what you would like to do in
Cranelift/Wasmtime and/or expect from it. You can answer the questions below if
they're relevant and delete this text before submitting. Thanks for opening an
issue! -->

Feature

Add a Cranelift backend that compiles to Webassembly.

Benefit

This would allow a compiler to run in the browser and compile code to run in the browser.

Implementation

No plan yet

Alternatives

Not adding a Webassembly backend.

One of the possible usecases would be to compile rustc to webassembly and then let it produce webassembly modules using cg_clif.

This would be awesome, another use case might be implementing custom compiler frontends for custom languages that could then compile to wasm!
