10/15/2018, 5:08 AMFYI Firefox already exposes Web and DOM API behind a flag without having to use JS, so languages like Kotlin can move forward on that to anticipate general availability and send feedback to the WG. See https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/calls-between-javascript-and-webassembly-are-finally-fast-%f0%9f%8e%89/.
