and potentially runtime, depending on the language you are compiling from



Most wasm toolchains use clang for c/c++, so poor compiler generation is rarely a significant issue. IIRC, the emscripten toolchain uses musl as the C runtime, which is reasonably performant runtime. Of course, if you write algorithmically inefficient code, no toolchain is going to improve it.
