Things have been changing, people thought that the DOM stuff would need the GC stuff, but the new "host bindings" proposal my sibling linked to would give DOM stuff without the GC stuff.

Everyone I talk to suggests that it will be sometime next year.

I don't know where it is on the current roadmap, but there's some activity here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/host-bindings/

weird i tried to post a thumbs up and hn deletes it. is it because it's a single rune? no it doesn't appear in this reply either.

Aside from the fact that a single thumbs up doesn’t qualify as a comment by HN standards, select Unicode characters are whitelisted but the rest are sanitized.
