It depends. If you are compiling a high level GC language to WasmGC then there's really close to no reason why it would be larger than JS.


That is, if the source language's GC model is compatible with Wasm's.


WASM's current GC model is mostly about sharing large byte buffers. It's on about the order of OS-level memory page management. Mostly it is getting used to share memory surfaces to JSON serialization/deserialization without copying that memory across the WASM to JS boundary anymore.

It will be a while before WASM GC will look close to any language's GC.
