Hi
Am I correct that once these tasks are completed, the websites will be accessible in Safari? How long do you think it will take for this to be possible?

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

A more concrete ticket https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272004 seems to indicate that GC is implemented and can be enabled by default. I don’t know when this reaches Safari release, though.

Hoping today? WWDC next version of Safari?

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

Wasm GC mentioned at WWDC keynote 🙂

[chrisjenx]

Can't see mention in the notes but also looks like it was hand made only way to tell would be up try it I guess https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-18-release-notes

[Svyatoslav Kuzmich [JB]]

I’ve tried Safari 18 in a beta MacOS VM, and it looks like Wasm GC it still not enabled yet.

[chrisjenx]

Yeah same, guess being the modern internet explorer isn't an unfounded statement

[Rok Oblak]

Would anyone with a better grasp on how fast things move be willing to give their rough estimate on when Safari will support Wasm GC? Will we need to wait 3, 6, 12 months?

I am building something with the expectation that it will be possible to run it on Safari and iPhone browses before the end of the year, but am a bit concerned about this being a wrong assumption 🙂

I still expect/hope it will be done this year, but no specific information from Apple side.

In any case, you can fallback to JS version for devices don’t support wasm GC

I was going to update the examples so it's clearer we can can use compose not on Wasm, as I think that would accelerate compose web adoption.
