Yes, the wasmgc's main selling point is the sharing of GC and 
TypeInfo between Javascript and WASM.

Sharing of data between the JS/WASM are problematic. JS has no 
destructor, so it practically impossible to do manual 
memory/resource management in JS side; One has to do a lot of 
works to pass data around. c/c++/rust, non-gc system languages, 
are not a good fit for JS/WASM, but D if ported to wasmgc would 
be a great fit.

I think D is in a happy position here.
