Description

I am lost with current proposals. As I know Interface types proposal was created for direct WebAPI calls from WebAssembly. (Answer from Emscripten team https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/issues/15710#issuecomment-987263141 )

But it was renamed to component model and slowed down? How WebAssembly WebGL applications supposed to be faster than pure JS?

Research direction

Start by reading the current component model proposals and the linked Emscripten discussion about Interface Types. Clarify the relationship between Interface Types and the component model, then establish whether direct Web API and WebGL calls without JavaScript glue are supported and what performance expectations are justified.
