Could this be used to get native gRPC support for the browser?

  WebAssembly doesn't provide any functional capabilities that aren't already accessible to JavaScript. This change does not really enable a browser to do anything more "natively" than it already could, other than run code that's written in Go.

    And that's not really new either, due to GopherJS [1] https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs

    Do 64-bit integers count? Because those aren't available in JavaScript (yet.)

  Why would you use this and not GC-free C bindings? (Clang can compile to WASM).

  In case you didn't see recently, https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web https://github.com/grpc/grpc-web came out of hidden-repo status recently. Of course there are caveats to its use, but I believe a server side gateway may always be needed due to how http/2 is used but I'm unsure.
