Project mention: WASM by Example | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-15

This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Disclaimer: I work on this project)
You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library.

Project mention: Calling JavaScript functions from V | /r/vlang | 2023-05-22

I have no idea that such a thing is possible in the V language. I know that V can be transpiled into JavaScript. But it seems to me that one module allows you to call a JS function from V, but I'm not sure. Have a look here https://github.com/malisipi/vwebui
