Description

Currently we only support passing i32 integers — great for math, but having more options would be great! We should probably look into rust-experiments and add some of the things they're doing.

Also s/o to @killercup for giving pointers to get in the right direction! 🙏

Research direction
Study the linked wasm experiments repo and the Reddit post to understand how to map JS types like strings, booleans, and objects to Rust types in a WebAssembly context. Then implement support for these types in the rustify transform.
