I'd guess https://frida.re/ is the closest I know of for modifying software, but for sure isn't as easy as Violentmonkey. The advantage over your description of XTP is that both Frida and Violentmonkey don't require the permission of the target app/website, so that seems like a huge win

Cool idea!
FWIW, when experimenting with stuff like that, I never had a good experience with WASM. It might be nice for “traditionally compiled” languages, but for stuff like JS or Python (which is what you’d usually like to expose to users, rather than C++) it’s not that great of an experience, and the runtimes aren’t compatible with common JS runtimes.
What I think is a bunch more promising in this area is Deno[0], which is a fully sandboxed-by-default JavaScript runtime, and as of Deno 2.0 recently is also compatible with Node APIs.

As far as XTP vs. Extism, XTP provides both a DX lift on top of Extism via binding code generation based on our XTP Schema - as well as a production-ready platform to intake, host & deliver plugins.
We also have a very capable testing framework and simulation feature that is partially open source and runs online in XTP platform to guarantee plugin behavior and performance before you run it inside your own application.
