Yup, it's definitely not a novel approach.
I got interested in WebAssembly as a "portable" intermediate target after seeing how Zim had made use of it for their bootstrapping process.
WASM is another one of those "there's a lot of hype" and "there are some questionable design decisions" things (and ye gods I haaaate how the spec is written, don't get me started) that also has a LOT of good ideas (and has increasingly wide adoption, which is handy too, worse-is-better, etc.)
