This is demonstrably untrue. Please peruse the design repo, I think you'll find that there are very frequently discussions of non-web applications, something folks are actually quite keen to support.
- bryanlarsen 8y agoPerhaps, but the real stakeholders are the browsers. Do you really think they'd hold off on GC if somebody told them that would make it problematic on embedded?
- TomMarius 8y agoEmbedded maybe, but it's a good feature for literally the rest of applications.
- steveklabnik 8y agoThe same people who work on the browsers are the same people who are in favor of this. The initial authors of wasm created the spec in this way for a reason; it's something they care about.
