No it wont. It's incredibly hard to build out a fully useful version of the Linux APIs, as shown to us by Cygwin, and WSL. Even if you built out a similar set of APIs, Linux itself offers a ridiculous set of interaction points where applications can tie together (for example, I can use inotifywatch to copy files out of my container as they're written). I feel like what you'll end up with is something like gvisor running on top of WASM. In which case, what did we gain from VMs at all?
