Mobile app development with WebAssembly GC
summary
Describes an implemented WebAssembly extension called WasmGC that gives managed languages a joint Heap with JavaScript so modules avoid shipping their own collectors and stop copying objects across the JS boundary. Early measurements show Flutter Kotlin and Dart code running 2–4× faster than transpiled JS, with examples hitting 120 FPS and single‑millisecond frame updates. Chrome and other engines return unused Wasm memory to the OS and integrate GC so binaries shrink and startup and interoperability improve.
