> definitely considerably worse than wasm-bindgen’s, Thank you, wasm-bindgen is a new term for me (wasm as a whole is new to me since about 2 weeks). i'll add

  I doubt wasm-bindgen will be your cup of tea as it’s Rust stuff, though perhaps there may be value in looking at what it generates. For myself, I progressively lean in the direction of burning all of these things down (when possible, and it must be admitted that Emscripten’s strength is that it makes legacy stuff work) and writing binding JavaScript manually, also with less of an FFI/dual-sided-bindings/skip-blithely-between-languages flavour and more deliberate, less RPCy techniques.

Yeah, Rust isn't part of the sqlite project's toolchain, but wasm is entirely new to the project and we're eager to learn more about it and to make sure that the JS/wasm code is not only usable but also "good code" (or at least "presentable" code!). Yes, we currently rely on emscripten's generated bits, but i've made an active effort to slowly trim down those dependencies as i get a clearer picture of where the borders between wasm, JS, emscripten, and client code lie. Ideally we wouldn't be dependent on one compiler, but currently we are. Baby steps!
