It is interesting to see another language target WebAssembly especially one like Racket. The fact that it compiles to a subset of the language limits its utility right now. I think it is a neat proof of concept but it needs full language support.

I love this. Racket is the future we were promised.

I noticed the --expose-gc. Does this mean it's using the (now standardized) Wasm GC feature?
