This is interesting. Can you go into a bit more detail on why the WASM decompiling would be helpful as opposed to just using the native codebase?

Dynamic linking on iOS is complex, and Android also brings some toolchain complexities. It would be possible to do a native build and link it, and that is a route we are also exploring, but a single C file that can be linked with any existing toolchain would simplify things for users.

It also allows us to implement a VFS layer underneath PGlite in a native mode. So things like the in-memory VFS, or a custom VFS, would be possible.

We have not committed to one route or the other yet.
