No, Java was always a creeping horror. The VM is one of its less bad features.
Yes it has been steadily getting worse, though.
Hum, no. The idea of a fast intermediate representation that is still high-level enough to allow for runtime optimizations and portability is GREAT. It's not "less bad".
But, of course, everything else destroys the language. A language agnostic WASM is taking that one really great part, and dropping everything else.
