They are right though that wasmgc might have a bigger impact than wasm alone. Lots of attention is deservedly paid to Rust but people use garbage collected languages more.
- adrianmonk 2y agoFrom the article, it seems like the big picture is that Google wants to move WasmGC forward. They got the Workspace/Sheets and Chrome/V8 teams together to start with Sheets "as an ideal testbed". Presumably they think this investment will pay off in various ways like ensuring Chrome has a good implementation of WasmGC and building expertise and tools for using WasmGC in other Google products.
