Could be... we shall see when we try porting it to a second IDE. :-D

I was so focused on VS Code that I haven't spent much time considering the set of changes that'll be required to support a second client.

Bundling in wasmtime is a really interesting idea. Thanks for sharing!

Great article; thank you for sharing! Wish that'd been written before we embarked down the exact same path. :-)

Also friendly heads-up that the second sentence under the Introducing WebAssembly (Wasm) heading might have gotten cut off.
