Is WASM a good target for REPL-driven programming? I haven't studied it in detail, but I do remember that it was Harvard architecture. Would that mean that code can't be updated at runtime in real implementations?

Modern WASM implementations use JIT compilation with dynamic code generation capabilities that effectively bypass the Harvard architecture limitations, allowing for runtime code updates through module instantiation and function replacement.
