Is it even on the roadmap? WASM does not have access to DOM at all.

  I think it is.

    No they are not. Standard DOM API is not i their roadmap. There is no point of doing it when WASM has to be loaded by JS anyway. Currently DOM libraries using WASM are implemented by importing JS wrapper functions.

      The interface types proposal will allow to call DOM APIs from WebAssembly directly [https://github.com/WebAssembly/interface-types/blob/master/proposals/interface-types/Explainer.md https://github.com/WebAssembly/interface-types/blob/master/p...] The point of doing it is of course performance.

        That's what I thought. Thanks.
