I don't follow this part. if the lib is shipped as .so/dll, how can it be compiled into wasm?

There is the host API - wander, which contains the Wasm runtime and interfaces with the GPU. The actual graphics code is always compiled to Wasm.

Can one use with WebGPU in the browser? I see you answer that here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39909440

The primary issue with things that include their own Wasm env, that then moving that system to the web doesn't work because you can't run wasm in wasm.

Yes! Not in the open-source repo yet (because it's currently broken :) ) but you can see it in the video, and will have it working again soon.

That's exactly the goal - one wasm binary with defined input/outputs that can be loaded either in a browser or running in any app outside of a browser.
