To be clear, Rust has also had support for asm.js and wasm via emscripten for quite a while. We're very enthusiastic about the new LLVM backend though, as it allows for significantly more control, including file size.

https://crates.io/crates/stdweb is an example of using WASM to manipulate the DOM through JS in Rust today.
