This is awesome! They seem to be using Wasmer [1] under the hood for their WebAssembly/WASI plugin system.

I would love to know if the IDE frontend could be compiled to Wasm (using WebGL/WebGPU under the hood) so it could run in the browsers, similarly to Makepad [2]

Potentially, the UI bits Lapce uses such as Druid, Winit, Wgpu all have the potential to compile into WASM. But it's not a priority.
