I note CHEN Qiulin has not yet created a W3C account so we cannot directly associate them with the session in the W3C TPAC breakout session calendar. I identified them as co-chair in the description of the session in the meantime. Happy to change that when they get a W3C identity!

JWST - The name gets confused with the James Webb Space Telescope.

The talk mentions the JS to WASM compiler. Is there a compiler download available for developers on Windows?

Yes, very unfortunate.

They said in the meeting that there were no immediate plans on open-sourcing it.
