Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc v

mainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasm

fake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasm

wat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.

Edit: formatting

.NET thing is called IL

The runtime is even called "common language runtime" (clr), as it is intended to support many different languages, which the jvm never was.
