“Seconding this as a brilliant project!”
“wasm2go is best used on moderately sized modules”
Thanks! Just today I'm hoping to provide a way to dynamically link separately compiled SQLite extensions, using vec1 as the testbed. Hopefully, that opens up additional use cases made hard by CGO/modernc. Crazy stuff, indeed. https://sqlite.org/vec1/doc/trunk/doc/vec1.md
