Could you build this?
Partial A minimal web app in zero-dependency Rust/WASM can be vibe-coded, but writing low-level manual WebAssembly bindings without external runtime crates requires careful unsafe memory manipulation.
What it would actually take: Requires writing Rust without `wasm-bindgen`, manually managing raw memory layouts, pointers, and exports directly across the WebAssembly linear memory boundary into JavaScript. The tricky part is implementing string decoding, DOM interop, and event handling without std or helper crates. Requires solid understanding of WebAssembly binary specs and raw memory pointer management.

Concerns raised: WASM implementation initially missing despite being advertised, V8 garbage collection stuttering on large images
