Reactive Wasm Web-Components with Embedded Swift

Based on Elementary.

Check out the example app: https://sliemeobn.github.io/elementary-dom/

Highly experimental, do not use.

Developed with a recent snapshot of swift. No WASM/WASI SDK required when built for Embedded (see Examples)

Things to figure out

• identity system and list-diffing
• lifecycle events and proper "unmounting" (currently node are just "dropped")
• @State system
• typed event handlers
• @Environment system
• "model-bindings" for inputs (ie: bind a @Binding to a textbox, or bind a @Binding on a check box)
• figure out why @Environment with optional ReactiveObject does not build in embedded
• preference system (ie: bubbling up values)
• proper unit testing (once APIs firm up a bit more)
• Browser APIs (Storage, History)
• think about how to deal with the lack of Codable in embedded
• make printing work without WASI (maybe pipe putchar through to javascript?)
• isolation and @MainActor stuff for reusable types (server-side-rendering and client apps)
• decide whether the current idea of Views flattening themselves into renderalbe types is even necessary, or if views should just "apply" themselves into the reconciler - might be a bit messier, but maybe faster and more flexible

Embedded Swift for WASM waitlist

• _Concurrency module (Task)
• Synchronization (Mutex)
• Codable (we probably need another way to JSON-ify things)
