I wonder is it acceptable to create another Store and use it to create and push ExternRef to ResourceTable?
bjorn3 (Jun 30 2025 at 10:16):ResourceTable is for wasm components. For a web browser (or javascript engine) you wouldn't use wasm components. They aren't supported by any existing js engines anyway.
bjorn3 (Jun 30 2025 at 10:17):All js code that would be able to directly interact with each other needs to use a single wasm store according to the wasm js interface spec:
Each agent has an associated store. When a new agent is created, its associated store is set to the result of store_init().
Wu Yu Wei (Jun 30 2025 at 10:40):Oh what I mean is using wasmtime directly as a script backend for projects like servo perhaps. A few years ago, servo community had a topic about replacing spidermonkey and I was interested in exploring wasm only backend. But the nature of DOM forces its objects need to be GC traced.
