Yeah, this is a historical design difference between Firefox's Spidermonkey JS engine and Chrome's V8. Spidermonkey uses (I'm simplifying here, there are cases where this isn't true) a trick where all values are 64-bits,

I think you're understating the cost of having to ship your own standard library with every wasm application - the chunk of stdlib used by a real app is bigger than 10kb. ICU data files are in the tens of megabytes, TZDB is a chunk of

The main scenario that caused me a lot of grief is temporary RAM usage spikes, like a single process run during a build that uses ~8gb of RAM or more for a mere few seconds and then exits. In some cases the oom killer was reaping the wrong
