> usually significantly worse than vanilla JS Can to elaborate? This is can be true if you're interacting with browser API's such as the DOM frequently, because there's an overhead. But I've seen several projects where (non-GC) WASM has improved performance significantly for specific tasks. You won't get native performance obviously. |

The overhead of a runtime can easily make WASM code run slower than native JS functions. This only applies to GC languages like Go which require that.

You absolutely can if you're writing the raw WASM or compiling from C.
