It’s like Java bytecode in the sense that it’s a bytecode spec for a virtual machine, but otherwise quite different. Wasm doesn’t include a GC or support for OO

It’s like Java bytecode in the sense that it’s a bytecode spec for a virtual machine, but otherwise quite different. Wasm doesn’t include a GC or support for OO out of the box. It doesn’t even have strings.
That’s great for compiling languages like C++ or Rust though, but makes compiling higher order langues like python or java to it.
