Description

Currently there exists the beginning of an extension API for limbo. This obviously relies on classic ffi / dlopen with libloading. It is my understanding that this is not supported for wasm targets.

It would be great if this behavior could be achieved there as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how to load dynamic extensions in WASM targets, perhaps using wasmtime's component model or a plugin system that compiles to WASM. Look into existing WASM plugin implementations in Rust.
