WASM compiles to what is effectively a normal JS library that exports some functions. You don't need a bundler to use that in an app, but as the complexity grows you might want one. It's likely that WASM frameworks will make that a simple process, but it'll probably end up working by using something like Webpack behind the scenes just as things like create-react-app do now. Take a look at https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-pack/ for an example of what people are working on to do this.

wasmbyexample has an example of how you can do it in Go right now - https://wasmbyexample.dev/examples/hello-world/hello-world.g... - you'll need to write that index.js file yourself, and that's when you'll be back to using modern JS tooling as soon as you scale up to a real app.

Thanks for those links. I found them really educational.

Does seem like we need some more tooling to avoid as much webpack pain as we can.
