Is it possible to write a WebExtension in WebAssembly?

I wonder if it is possible to use WebAssembly to develop an add-on for Firefox.

I doubt that it is possible to do completely in WASM, but what about WASM core with minimal JavaScript wrapper?

Yes, there are already WebExtensions using wasm, e.g. see the release notes for uBlock Origin 1.17.4.
