There is a resurgence in programming languages and compilers that target native binaries. Go is already popular. Rust enjoys a lot of hype. D and Haskell seem to be making a bit of a comeback. New compilers are being worked on for existing languages, like Kotlin Native and Scala Native, and entire new languages are being developed, like Zig, Swift, Pony, Nim, Crystal and V. Which are you betting on? Which do you find interesting?
Do you think WASM will overturn the trend? There is certainly a lot of people trying to make "write once, run everywhere" happen with WASM for some reason.

WASM right now is just a MVP, meaning minimal viable product so it's missing tons of features. You need to jerryrig a lot of things to get it to work.
That said, when it finally is a real prototype, you will be able to compile WASM binaries in any language and yes it will likely eat the world as we know it where your browser merely pushes a binary and all those web app stores are obsolete. In fact almost everything will be obsolete because they want native resource access in the final prototype meaning an application that is just pushed through your browser and has native access to everything including your video card in order to render graphics. Programs like Windows Word or whatever will be this type of binary, fully owned by a remote company and just lended to you through a binary push. We're entering a radically different style of computation where RMS was essentially correct, the bulk of computation will be done remotely on closed source ecosystems and just pushed to you through a dumb terminal.
