Description

I believe a lot could be simplified by leveraging the WASI preview2 + WIT work that is happening here. From the JavaScript binding generation perspective, you might have a look in this repo too: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/jco.

Research direction

Start by reading the WASI Preview2 and WIT work in the linked preview2-prototyping repository, then review jco for JavaScript binding generation. Compare those approaches with this repository’s VS Code extension-host implementation and define which simplifications are feasible. Done means a concrete, agreed scope for adopting Preview2 and WIT.
