    Why not just just have most of it in wasm? There are wasm runtimes that don’t require js, and I’m sure Google can adapt their engine. Then they could integrate the other side with rust

      You can always compile to wasm, or ship a wasm decoder. You can even ship a JS decoder, but speed and resource consumption are important, ruling both out.
