Description

It would be nice to have webassembly build of leveldown. There are many cases when platform independent build is more preferable than top performance.

Example: wrapped Google's woff2 https://github.com/fontello/wawoff2. ~ 2x slower than native, but no need to recompile, download and so on. Convenient.

Research direction

The issue names leveldown and WebAssembly but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating leveldown's build configuration and determining whether its dependencies support a WebAssembly target. Done should mean a documented, reproducible WebAssembly build with the expected platform-independent behavior and known performance tradeoffs.
