This adds the `Memory` class to `dart:_wasm`, allowing Dart code to
load and store numeric types in linear memory.
Since `dart2wasm` doesn't generate a memory instance by default, there
is no singleton instance of `Memory`. Instead, memories are defined as
`external` top-level getters annotated with a pragma like
`@pragma('wasm:memory-tyype', MemoryType(limits: Limits(1, 10)))` to
declare their type.
Interop happens in a static way: Methods on `Memory` cannot be torn-off
and, since the target memory is encoded directly in the store/load
instruction, there's also no polymorphism for memories in Dart.
Attempting to call methods on a memory instance that isn't a direct
reference to its definition is a compile-time error.
Memories can also be imported and exported through the existing
`wasm:import` and `wasm:export` pragmas.

Dart
An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform
Dart is:
-
Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.
-
Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.
-
Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.
Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:
-
Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.
-
Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
