10/01/2024, 4:46 PMare there any plans to support it in the future? Our company is doing an initiative to create plugins with WebAssembly and the Kotlin devs are the only ones who can't make them Swift, TS, Rust, C# all support this.

10/01/2024, 4:59 PMWe are considering it as a part of the multi-memory proposal support. Devs would be able to define, export and import custom memories and manage them as they please. Do you think this would work in your case?
