Compiling to bytecode, e.g. WebAssembly?

[pkese]

I'm just being curious...

Would it ever be possible for Fable to target WebAssembly, or is Fable intended just for spewing out source code rather than bytecode?

[pkese]

In recent versions WebAssembly apparently got support for:

• garbage collection
• tail calls
• exception handling

... so there's fewer and fewer reasons why it couldn't be a proper compiler target apart for the fact that WebAssembly is a binary thing (and probably needs linking, etc).

@pkese It's already possible to target WebAssembly via Fable -> Rust -> WebAsm. See this as an example.

The other option to target WebAsm is using the .NET wasm-tools workload (using .NET AOT).
