wasmGC

Hi!
leptos is my favorite rust frontend framework so far!
thank you to the community for the time you spent on it!
i juste watch "WebAssembly: A new development paradigm for the web" by Google Chrome Developers
on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcHER-3gFXI&t=0s.

how wasmGC will impact leptos in termsof performance and bundle size ?

AFAIK it will have no impact on Leptos, or any Rust/WASM framework, except increasing the competition from other languages. As I understand it the point of WASM GC is to allow garbage-collected languages to compile to WASM without having to ship their own garbage collector as part of the WASM binary. Rust is not a garbage-collected language so this is mostly irrelevant.

Unless I'm mistaken about what the WASM GC spec is for.

I get it for the garbage collector but if you watch this slide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcHER-3gFXI&t=15m50s it also talks about direct access to the dom, canvas, webgpu and webgl.
This will reduce glue code. I am wrong?
