Research direction

Start with packages/npm-packages/ruby-wasm-wasi/src/index.ts at the mentioned JsValueTransport implementation, then locate the current rb-abi-host and rb-abi-guest .wit files. Compare their definitions with WIT worlds and import/export support. Done means the host and guest interfaces can reference each other without the JsValueTransport workaround.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, we use JsValueTransport to facilitate moving values between the rb-abi-host and rb-abi-guest. Since the introduction of this workaround in #18 (May 2022), the WIT format implemented features such as worlds and import/exports. If we update our .wit files to use these new features I think JsValueTransport would no longer needed because the host and guest .wit can reference each other.
