You really should lead a wasmgc porting effort. I am willing to contribute too. WASM is not an easy platform, so adoption rate is slow. But WASMGC is a much nicer platform to work with and it going to get better too. It a natural platform for D to shine. Kotlin is all in on WASMGC, and there is a lot of implementation detail that can be learned. https://seb.deleuze.fr/introducing-kotlin-wasm/ |
