I found this interesting set of survey results which seems to overwhelmingly have Rust as the favorite language of #WebAssembly. Not sure how authoritative it is though. https://blog.scottlogic.com/2022/06/20/state-of-wasm-2022.html
The State of WebAssembly 2022

WebAssembly has gone through quite a transformation this last year, while the wasm language landscape is slowly shifting, the more notable change is in what people are using WebAssembly for. The use of wasm for serverless, containerisation and as a plug-in technology has leapt considerably, with WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) becoming ever more important.
