Description
In a current project, we have a situation where we want to centralize where some calculations are being done, so everything is being calculated on the backend.
The tradeoff is that whenever the front end needs the results of said calculations it needs to make a request and wait for the response. Given it's only a second or two at most, we figured if we could export the calculating function as web assembly, we could import it as a function for JS.
Is this a supported use case?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the ruby.wasm documentation and examples for WebAssembly exports and JavaScript integration. Check whether a React application and client-side execution are covered, then compare the requested calculation use case with the documented capabilities. Done means a supported path or a clearly scoped gap is identified.
