>WebAssembly is on track to support dynamic and GC-ed languages

It is, but there's several roadmap items that would need to be ticked off for it to run well. Aside from GC, you would probably need:

- Direct DOM access. The current way of interacting with the DOM from WASM is, at best, 10x slower.

- JIT underpinnings, like a polymorphic inline cache[1]

It's not clear how far off those things might be.
