Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Instead of using bindings between Go and JavaScript/TypeScript, will Wails support WebAssembly for seamless integrations between the back-end side and the front-end side of Wails projects?

Describe the solution you'd like

Instead of generating bindings during the execution of the command "wails dev", it can rely on a separate configuration where the exposed Go code be built as WebAssembly modules. And this should be able to be enabled in "wails.json".

Research direction

The issue names the wails dev command and wails.json as starting points; inspect how development-time bindings are generated and how project configuration is read. A complete implementation would define separate WebAssembly configuration for exposed Go code and make it usable by Wails projects.
