Description
We'll need a WebAssembly memory model. The ECMAScript memory model was designed to be able to work with WebAssembly, but we'll likely need a separate document to cover WebAssembly specifics, or perhaps even a shared document that the ES spec references.
Is it necessary that this document exist before we standardize threads in WebAssembly?
