How are Value Types exposed in JS? #5

Open chicoxyzzy opened 6 years ago

chicoxyzzy commented 6 years ago

Both overview from this repo and WebAssembly's GC v1 JS API don't mention how Value Types are exposed in JS. In examples they look like Well-known Intrinsic Objects, but they can't be Well-known Intrinsic Objects because they are surely not web compatible. So it's not clear where do uint8, int8, any, etc. come from.

True, that part isn't in the explainer yet. That's because we haven't settled on a solution—Typed Objects might end up being exposed as a builtin module, or in a way that's similar to Math.
