No, I would be interested in that too. I don't know anything about Web Assembly but maybe GC is handled by Web Assembly?

There are plans to eventually integrate GC into wasm, but at the moment the GC has to be implemented and bundled in the wasm file. That is in fact one of Rust's advantages there. And of course wasm supporting a GC does not mean languages targeting wasm will want to use it (and lose the flexibility of providing their own).
