- ufo 6y agoThanks, but the WASM ecosystem is a bit foreign to me so some of what you said went right over my head. Would it be correct to say that: 1. AssemblyScript functions can be exposed to Javascript via the loader utility. If the arguments are primitive types then calling them is straightforward. Complex types like strings and arrays must be converted between the JS version of the type and the AS version of the type. 2. AssemblyScript code cannot call Javascript functions or directly manipulate Javascript objects. However, Javascript objects and functions can be passed around as an opaque anyref.
