RE: Introducing webassembly-loader: Yet another webpack-loader for importing wasm code 😂
Thank you for your contribution. An awesome write-up, with a lot of learning. I really like your approach of writing test, +1 for that. Though I am not able to understand why have you created webassembly-loader when there are other webpack-loader, might be I am missing something.
I really like "Something that I learn when creating this package" section and I would say that everyone should share the same thing in their post which will benefit not only them but to the reader too.

At first, I also have the same question about webpack 4 which begin to support webassembly file. why they add webassembly/experimental feature when there is wasm-loader?
I begin to understand the reason. Seems they do it for maintainability as well as experimenting some new technique on how to import a module.
Well, the reason I create another loader, as I said in the article:
This way rs-jest (a Jest transformer that I create to make Rust code can be used in Javascript project as a Webassembly module) can be used in a project that either uses Webpack or Rollup.
Summary, compatibility reason.
Another reason is I want to make maintaining "export mode" feature easier. Both in rs-jest and rollup-plugin-rust.
Thank you for your review, @codingdefined!
