@Alex Crichton I've been wondering about where we might be able to eventually take things for the Wasm interface.

One question: is it conceivable, and would it be useful, to eventually support something like pub extern "wasm" fn instead of requiring a proc macro annotation?

of course that'd only be once interface types are fully stable, but I doubt that I fully understand the implications, and so don't know whether this will ever make sense :slight_smile:

@Till Schneidereit yeah long-term that's what I'd assume that we'd use

maybe not literally that syntax but with stable interface types we'd want some modicum of support in rustc

Makes sense, yes!

I'm also hoping that interface-types one day becomes usable orthogonally to wasm.
