Doesn't WASM need GC support before Go can be used? It'll need to be fully managed languages until then, I think.

With that said I'm just parroting some other comments I've seen on this topic in other contexts, so I'm asking the question genuinely.

Why can't the Go implementation can have its own GC, the same as the Go implementation for, say, x86 does?

It's possible but will run much slower with some of the restrictions in webasm.

Incredibly interested in the answer to that question as well. Go will not have a future in regards to web development if they don't find a solution for the GC issue in wasm. I assume (and hope) that's a bigger topic compiler-team internally as well currently.

Interesting, thanks
