Let the brainstorming begin!
Make WebAssembly a thing in D.
See https://forum.dlang.org/post/ejplfelcqsvjmdvxt...@forum.dlang.org
Currently C++ and Rust dominate that domain. D could kick some web
asm there too.

I am curious about binary size of microservies on webpages. D-binaries
tend to be bigger and the D garbage collector needs to be within them.
Then we would have to rely on LLVM drastically reducing the binary size
of static compiled apps.
If we say "its only for betterc" or "its only for bigger webapps and
nodejs-webassembly", it would be half assed - and in my humble opinion
too much of a disadvantage compared to rust. I might be wrong of course
Until web assembly's GC interface and TLS is designed, -betterC would be
the correct solution for us going forward.
