The Julia WASM tools can make apps which support (/require) this feature. For example, you can compile the ODE solver to WASM as is demonstrated on https://tshort.github.io/WebAssemblyCompiler.jl/stable/examp.... It requires Chrome v119 in order to work out of the box due to that being the first version to enable the GC support. The front page of the WASM compiler https://tshort.github.io/WebAssemblyCompiler.jl/stable/ has more details.

Oh wow that’s great progress!

(Hopefully the new `Memory{T}` type makes it possible to compile even more code.)

I don't think the new Memory will change anything here. Why would it?

Edit: I guess it will make allocation hoisting slightly easier.
