> Today, WASM doesn't support GC

That's true for now, but they're [planning][1] on adding support for that in the near future.

That page has been there for quite some time. :)


Yep, GC support has been part of WASM's long-term goals since almost the beginning. April 30, 2015: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/commit/16687d30a0859b2...


...and no progress yet.


GC was not part of [the MVP][1], and the MVP itself was only finished around 2 weeks ago, so of course not. They haven't even had an opportunity to work on it yet. Like I said, "long-term goals".

If you want to get an idea of where GC is on the priorities list, have a look at the [roadmap][2]. There are still other things they have to deal with before they start working on GC support, but it's coming.
