I think most languages could pretty easily use WASM GC. The main issue comes around FFI. That's where things get nasty.

I think most languages could pretty easily use WASM GC. The main issue comes around FFI. That's where things get nasty.
WasmGC doesn't support interior pointers, and is quite primitive in available set of operations, this is quite relevant if you care about performance, as it would be a regression in many languages, hence why it has largely been ignored, other than the runtimes that were part of the announcement.
