Text(De|En)coder in WorkletGlobalScope

[guybedford]

What is the issue with the HTML Standard?

When using WorkletGlobalScope, not having TextEncoder and TextDecoder is currently inhibiting WebAssembly use cases that rely on using these primitives to encode and decode strings from and to Wasm.

Has there been any previous discussion around exposing these? It could be a very useful improvement for WebAssembly in these environments.

Technically as of f09648a they are exposed there.

I'm not sure if @Ms2ger ever created tests for worklets?

[Ms2ger]

Unless they're in the .any.js default set, probably not

See WebAudio/web-audio-api#2499.

Technically as of f09648a they are exposed there.

I can see in that surrounding discussions there seems to be the consensus to indeed expose these APIs fully despite allocation concerns. If that is correct, we might as well go ahead and make the appropriate changes in Firefox.

@daxpedda I think we might want to reconsider in light of @padenot's comments in that issue. Also, it doesn't seem like ShadowRealm is going anywhere so we might have to revert the commit I mentioned.
