WASM is not a language though, the equivalent here would be a JVM, but that enforces all sorts of Java specific constraints that you do not want in a driver.

The short answer to your question is: No.

Yeah, I get that WASM is like JVM (or even more accurately, java bytecode), but doesn't WASM have as many constraints on it?

Can you elaborate on your answer? Linux printer drivers seem to be entirely in userspace, so why do Windows drivers cause so much grief?
