Here's the repository link https://github.com/Kofituo/hello-world

Hello, anyone please?

[daxpedda]

What version of Rust are you running?
This remind me of errors people got because of the recently enabled by default reference type proposal.
So it might be that you Wasm engine just doesn't support that.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Webpack or wasm-pack, so I can't help further then that.

[Kofituo]

Actually I'm following the instructions given in this repository and here https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/game-of-life/hello-world.html
I'm using the latest version of nightly rust

[Kofituo]

Also, what wasm engine supports it so I give it a try please?

[daxpedda]

I only target browsers and Wasmtime, both have support for reference types.
I'm unfamiliar with other targets or the wider ecosystem.

[Kofituo]

Okay thanks
