Very cool video! The performance problem with wasm-bridge got fixed in version 0.3 (objects are no longer passed through JS and are directly sent as bytes instead). It is sad that the project got cancelled, using WASM for plugins is a very cool idea, but I think you need a good game (or a good product in general) first to get people interested.
