we need first class support for wasm though. single-page offline html files can have <script> in them, but they cannot have WASM. web pages need to be able to have embedded wasm

Nah who cares. If you can glue it with a bit of JS it works _today_ like makepad is already. There is 'would be nice to polish it up tech' and 'this is core unpolyfillable technology'. Simd and threads in wasm are the latter kind.

you can't use web assembly in an offline html file. all of wasm is completely unusable for this use case. I cannot ship a .html file for local viewing with wasm on it

Locally shipped html is dead for good security reasons tbh. It was cute whilst it was a tech for 100k people. Not so for 7billion.

it's not dead. try opening up a .html file in your web browser. it works fine. javascript runs fine on it. the fact that wasm doesn't work on it makes wasm second class citizen to javascript. it should be possible to make a browser that only supports wasm and not js.

Try doing anything meaningful in that html tho. Its completely security crippled. For good reasons.

Btw i'm the person that liked this feature right, but its not maintainable from a security perspective if you look at the API surface area browser expose.
