I don't think so, not yet. There's been Julia-on-wasm efforts that have been inching along for a while, but it's not nearly at a mature point afaik. I remember reading that some new developments (maybe shifting more of the compiler work to Julia with JuliaLowering.jl, maybe something else) have made wasm a lot more feasible, but it's gonna need some people with a need for it to actually work on it.

(From context I'm assuming you're not looking for something like Jupyter/Pluto/BonitoBook.)

The part that made it much more feasible is that WASM's "new" GC ended up working nicely with Julia's GC, so WebAssemblyCompiler.jl was able to hook into it. With that, a lot more codes suddenly work because array allocations are fine. It means that in this state if someone took it seriously I think a pretty good version could be had in like 6 months, but it would take a real effort to make that something actually part of the "normal" maintained compiler stack.
