Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying Binaryen's existing compiler-target architecture and WGSL support requirements; done would mean an agreed implementation scope for compiling to WGSL, followed by the necessary compiler changes and validation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be interesting, particularly for languages like AssemblyScript if Binaryen offered WGSL as a compile target. It would open the Web up a lot more as a compute target for AI and other potential industries. I'm curious if anyone is interested in this. 👀
