IIRC you can do GC within WebAssembly (though it's less nice and awkward as I've been told). But DOM interop is needed. Can't wait to get my fingers on the DOM

It doesn't sound like that will be possible. DOM interop is baked into the Garbage Collection task[0]. It sounds like there's a dependency there, somewhere.

Here's the DOM proposal: https://github.com/WebAssembly/host-bindings/ https://github.com/WebAssembly/host-bindings/

  Historically, people have thought that the GC and DOM stuff is intertwined, but the latest DOM proposal doesn't require the GC proposal.

    Do you have a link to the separated proposals? It certainly seems entwined on the official roadmap.
