Why can't Wasm compile the GC as simply another thread in the app?

Kind of like how it does on a regular compiler




Yes, when you're compiling a particular language to wasm, you could include a GC in wasm code as part of that language's runtime system. But it wouldn't interoperate with the Javascript GC, or GCs for other wasm modules compiled from other toolchains.
