Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Python support in the WASM/WASI implementation and how language execution is currently exposed through the VS Code extension host. Determine which additional language, such as C# or C++, is feasible and define a validation path showing that it executes successfully; no file or test is named in the issue.

Currently we only have support for Python so far. We should investigate to execute other languages like C# or a compiled language like C++.
