Description

Currently our interpreter is missing a formal design guideline specification for software development. Both in our codebase and between our codebase and the Wasm spec are a lot of inconsistencies right now.

To resolve these a set of common design guidelines must be specified. This issue acts as an RFC to collect possibly-relevant guidelines.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Collect and propose design guidelines to ensure consistency between the interpreter codebase and the WebAssembly specification. Examine existing inconsistencies and suggest a set of common guidelines.
