Why is wasm so damn limited? After watching it evolve for many years my conclusion is either politics or it being run by the wrong people who think they literally need to invent the whole world (in component model) before they can give us basic string objects. No, wasm string objects were an independent feature in experimental Chrome for a while but they got removed again. Wasm structs are beautiful without the component model but useless because they can't be read or written in JS.
