- steveklabnik 10y agoAbsolutely. Rust does have some advantages here, in my understanding, since it has no GC. I haven't been following the latest wasm stuff, but GC integration is coming later, right?
- kibwen 10y agoThe MVP for wasm will not include any built-in support for garbage collection, no.
- readams 10y agoI believe languages with heavier runtimes would need to compile those runtimes to wasm as well, which could include a GC. Needless to say, languages like C++ and Rust will have an advantage here.
