Yeah. If I remember it correctly, you need to compile the GC to run on WASM if the GC extension is not supported.



The GC extension is supported within browsers and other WASM runtimes these days - it's effectively part of the standard. Compiler developers are dropping the ball.


The Wasm GC currently doesn't support the functionality needed by both Go and C#. (Interior pointers, for instance)

I'm hoping that a later version makes this possible.
