> It would be hard (maybe not impossible) to access the DOM in WA without a GC making sure everything is sound, because the DOM and JS (meaning the GC) are very coupled. AFAIK, the reason the DOM and JS GC are very coupled is because there can be loops between the DOM and JavaScript: the DOM can hold JavaScript resources, which themselves can hold DOM resources. As long as these loops are avoided (by not allowing the DOM to hold resources within the WASM heap), this is not an issue.
