WASM just reached MVP. The design goal of the MVP seems to be a small spec that includes the minimum amount of requirements.
I guess that is the reason why all four major browsers cloud adopt it almost in the same time, without having many proposal ping-pongs between Google vs Mozilla vs Apple vs Microsoft.
- tyingq 7y agoThis article, and proposals for reference types, though, make it sound like working around the lack of strings/bytes/chars might have been more work in the end. Sort of like a unicycle isn't really a bicycle MVP :)
- kbumsik 7y agoRight, but it is better than having to wait more years until browsers reach consensus. I'm not sure but specifying a WASM-native string representation might be more favorable to a specific JS engine than the others, depending on its existing JS string implementation. This might cause disagreements.
