I thought WebAssembly didn't have a garbage collector yet.



Apparently the GC is compiled otherwise you have to manage memory somehow manually...

>> Linking in the runtime adds up to 14kb to a module, but the optimizer is able to eliminate unused runtime code. Once WebAssembly exposes the garbage collector natively, there'll be other options as well.


So what, it just means one needs to ship one with the runtime.

Commodity processors also don't have a GC.
