binaryen has removed asm2wasm in version 97 (binaryen#3042), since Emscripten stopped using it. Use a fixed-version link to minimize confusion, and change to past tense for good measure.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
How about mentioning wasm2js, which has replaced asm2wasm in binaryen? It is basically a polyfill for wasm, and currently maintained & used in production. I'd suggest replacing the section on asm2wasm with that (unless we want to keep a mention of asm2wasm for historical reasons too).

The https://webassembly.org/getting-started/advanced-tools/ also has a reference to the same link. I think that's the website repo.
