bakkot: cool, I noticed that Wasm doesn't have anything below i32, which was somewhat surprising
Not as scalars, but yes as memory instructions, see https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/syntax/instructions.html#syntax-memarg (and as of recently, in SIMD, and in the near future, in Wasm GC)

I would get in touch with Deepti Gandluri to learn about any history/context on whether people have brought up float16 in SIMD discussions

Looks like emscripten supports functionality to round to f16 (typed as i16 internally) https://reviews.llvm.org/D61287 probably this means sunfishcode could speak more to the demand/rationale
