I'm building a language that targets WASM GC and learning about WASM and WASI more I'm a little worried about either the direction that GC took, or the shape of WASI components or both.
At first approach it looks very difficult to integrate WASM GC types with WASI components.
Feb 1, 2026 03:32Could WASM GC have worked with linear memory somehow, instead of bringing new opaque types? Would it not have been possible to build a precise GC that way? Maybe a badly behaved program could break things by corrupting memory, or reading it incorrectly, but they can already do that with linear mem.
