There’s no guarantee the toolchains will support WASM “preview” forever and make the bloat optional, and even if they do you could still end up in an ecosystem where it would be unviable. At some point you’re probably better off just compiling to RISCV and using an emulator library instead.
Fortunately core wasm is simple enough for a single person to implement an interpreter or even compiler for.
Even if the major engines continue to pile on complexity we have a pretty good escape hatch I think.
