WebAssembly without native GC support is no different that targeting a real hardware CPU. One just has to implement it as well.

blazor is not .NET compiled to WASM. blazor uses a .NET runtime called DotNetAnywhere, which is written in C and compiled with emscripten. the actual .NET IL is then interpreted at runtime by DNA.

Also if you bother to read the meeting minutes from WebAssembly meetings, developers from .NET team are present in such meetings.

Fancy!
