GWT compiles Java, a garbage collected language. asmjs doesn't support garbage collection, so the translation would be difficult. String's have no simple mapping. I don't think the performance win would be all that big. We shipped Angry Birds for the Web written in GWT in 2012, back when JS was a lot slower and it ran at 60fps.
