I googled for status:

Found also:
“Have you heard the good word? Rust can now target asm.js and WebAssembly (wasm) via
emscripten.” [Note, below in Rust 1.14, said to be “experimental”.]
And; didn’t look into:
“Everything works”
Rest is not directly related to [only[ web/Julia, just interesting, and might be an indirect way to target the web or compiling to assembly in general:
http://notes.willcrichton.net/rust-the-new-llvm/
“Rust compiles to LLVM” [but stated other way around better] “Rust in this kind of ecosystem offers five primary advantages over LLVM:”
[and disadvanages]
“2. The story for dynamic languages needs refinement. Specifically, it needs a battle-hardened GC (as far as I know, there’s really only one major attempt so far).” [rust-gc]
“To my knowledge, Lia is the first major language that actually compiles directly to Rust.”
[competitor to Julia?]
“Lia is a dynamically typed and garbage collected programming language that seamlessly interopts with Rust by using Rust as a compile target.”
one advantage, not for web…, just released Rust 1.14 has over Julia (LLVM?):
“MIPS
and
s390x-unknown-linux-gnu”
Didn’t look into new MIR for Rust, or if it’s an alternative compiler target:
