You need the host (whatever it is) to provide the capabilities to WASM. On the web, the host environment is JS. Browser engines are free to optimize well-known

  The issue is that currently this is impossible "Now how do I call this API from WASM without any intervening JavaScript?". Now the Web IDL bindings have evolved to some kind of reference types, and that is what I was talking about, not GC reference types. https://www.w3.org/2018/12/games-workshop/slides/08-web-idl-bindings.pdf https://www.w3.org/2018/12/games-workshop/slides/08-web-idl-... https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/08/webassembly-interface-types/ https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/08/webassembly-interface-type... https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/introduction.html https://component-model.bytecodealliance.org/introduction.ht... However I did the mistake to keep calling them reference types, when in reality they are now called component model. As for the browser, yeah that is what matters for WebGPU, outside of the browser there are so many middleware options with much better tooling (GPU debuggers for Web 3D still aren't a thing 10 years later, besides poor SpectorJS), and access to latest hardware features, instead of what was the state of the art in 2015.
