I feel like some elements in the WebAssembly committee try to actively hinder sane JS integration. Once we can use wasm gc objects in js and js objects including strings in wasm (without gluecode hell) adoptation might skyrocket.

GC strings worked for a while in Chrome, but the "test has ended"

This matters not just because of aesthetics but glue code removes the potential speed advantages of wasm.
