RacketScript: Racket to JavaScript Compiler
Racket used to be able to do this years ago thanks to a project called Whalesong (which is briefly mentioned in the RacketScript readme), but its last update was like 7 years ago and by the time I found it, it already required an outdated Racket version so I never got to try it out.

I'm really liking Racket but...
I don't think there's any mature projects that compile to WASM yet, but there's been some steady progress on that front. There's also a dialect of Racket that transpiles to Javascript and a #lang that lets you write Javascript using Racket syntax.
