Zig is perfect for this.
Personally, I don't think this is an important factor if Wasm file size is less than 100K. It does matter if the file size is over MB.
Builtin GC is only important for some apps, not all. It is best to make your web app GC-free.
The most important factor for apps using Wasm to succeed is still performance benefit.
