Yes, with the binaryen.js port, you can generate programs in Binaryen IR and compile them to wasm, all in JS. See for example this code sample from the test suite: https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/blob/master/test/binaryen.js/hello-world.js
If you want to write the programs in C, though, then you need to compile a frontend compiler as well. That's a lot larger, but also an option, see this port: https://github.com/tbfleming/cib
I asked some here https://www.quora.com/Does-WebAssembly-have-the-ability-to-do-a-dynamic-compilation-in-run-time-using-a-client-s-browser
Is it possible to use binaryen to generate and compile functions in runtime?
I need to generate and compile functions in runtime in mobile phone browser. A user can write himself custom functions definitions, or they can be autogenerated by inference over knowledge database (what I want to make much later). In offline, no server available most of the time.
Closer to the original question I asked about something like Java JSR223 or .NET DLR: mechanics to do dynamic code generation in runtime when an application runs in a client session, and do all the things which can any dynamic programming language with JIT provides.
