WASM essentially can call javascript functions that were imported, and I believe javascript is able to read WASM's memory (a big help for transferring strings). If you're using something like Rust, all the glue code to call any JS APIs can be automatically generated for you with wasm-bindgen, so it really isn't a huge problem usability wise. It's just not great for performance.
