Is this going to be a way to execute emscripted-built projects locally? Or is the target something else entirely, like WASM interacting with Java?

Do I understand correctly that endive ships with a garbage collector and only uses the host gc when references pass over the API boundary? I don't know much about wasm, but would it be possible to use the host gc for everything? Or is there some inherent property of wasm that makes this impossible / less efficient?
