WebAssembly Interface Types: Interoperate with All the Things
I'm very happy to see the WebIDL proposal replaced with something generalized.The article brings up an interesting point:Webassembly really could enable seamless cross-language integration in the future.Writing a project in Rust, but really want to use that popular face detector written in Python?And maybe the niche language tokenizer written in PHP?And sprinkle ffmpeg on top, without the hassle of target-compatible compilation and worrying about use after free vulnerabilities?No problem use one of the many WASM runtimes popping up (like [1], [2]) and  combine all those libraries by using their pre-compiled WASM packages distributed on a package repo like WAPM [2], with auto-generated bindings that provide a decent API from your host language.Sounds too good to be true? 
Probably, and there are plenty of issues to solve.But it sounds like a future where we could prevent a lot of the re-writes and duplication across the open source world by just tapping into the ecosystems of other languages.[1] https://wapm.io/
