I am aware of two uses of WebAssembly Reference Types: For one, wasm-bindgen (Rust's main Wasm toolchain) has an implementation based on reference types that allows them to avoid bunch of custom JS for managing values: https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/wasm-bindgen/reference/reference-types.html Another example is AssemblyScript which also allows switching to reference types under a flag: https://www.assemblyscript.org/status.html#webassembly-features
