Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Extism Makes WebAssembly Easy
Firecracker is a fine technology, but serverless companies have started taking advantage Wasm's faster start-up times for use cases of running Wasm on the server (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqgCxhPAao0). The deny by default security policy makes Wasm a great choice to run your code in isolation, particularly for maximizing hardware resources in the multi-tenant environments these serverless companies operate.
In the past few years, we have seen more use cases of Wasm emerge outside of the browser. JavaScript engines are now just a fraction of the total number of runtimes available. Wasmtime, Wasmer, WasmEdge, wazero are popular ones for non-browser use cases like blockchain, serverless, and edge computing (although Cloudflare uses V8's Wasm engine). WAMR is a popular one for cyber physical/IoT devices. There's a nice list here: https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-runtimes

I think [...] the "future of computing" is going to be [...] CISC. I’ve read of IBM mainframes that have [hardware instructions for] parsing XML [...]; if you had garbage collection, bounds checking, and type checking in hardware, you’d have fewer and smaller instructions that achieved just as much.
There's plenty of other ways to interact with Wasm, most of which are secure. (Wasmtime is the one I'm most familiar with, which is why I linked to it.)

Lunatic is an Erlang-inspired runtime for WebAssembly
Yeah, this is one of many non-browser runtimes, e.g. see https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-runtimes
Lunatic is more opinionated than most of these or node, though, in that it's trying to emulate a particular concurrent system design pattern borrowed from Erlang/BEAM.

What to learn in 2022
Now, the creation Bytecode Alliance, the development of multiple WebAssembly runtimes and the work of the W3C WebAssembly Community Group is why I belive it will get popular, but the capability-based security model is why I want it to get popular.

Ho Ho Ho, WasmEdge 0.9.0 is here!
âš– I think it's really cool that a plugin author could compile their C++ to .wasm such that a single plugin binary can run on either Linux or Windows (don't need an x86 .dll, x64 .dll, x86 .so, x64 .so...) and in a sandbox (no arbitrary syscalls or Win32 calls, just the interfaces given to it), while still getting near native AOT speed. Though, it's hard to judge which one to choose from now with all the wasm engines that are available (https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-runtimes), with wasmtime or inNative being two others I've considered for my project. I'll definitely look into this one though, given it supports many of the newer proposals.

Why WebAssembly is innovative even outside the browser
Numerous native runtimes for webassembly already exist[0], with the current popular choices apparently being Wasmer[1] and Wasmtime[2].
All one would need to do (AFAIK) is ship a client for all major platforms, as is done with Electron (and web browsers themselves, and everything else.)

What would you rewrite in Rust?
I believe that https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond wants to be that.

From Erlang to Rust and Lunatic
Lunatic is exciting, I'm keeping an eye especially on the submillisecond web framework that targets wasm: https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond

Is Rust Ready for the Web Yet?
Lunatic runtime for Rust to avoid the async parts might become quite nice in the future: https://github.com/lunatic-solutions/submillisecond
Not sure what it might take for someone to write database connectors for it but it does look promising.

Htmx, WebAssembly, Rust, ServiceWorker Proof of Concept
What a coincidence, I was just discussing on discord a similar approach for our Rust web framework submillisecond[0].
Submillisecond uses lunatic to run Rust code compiled to WebAssembly on the backend. We are working on a LiveView-like library now. And one thing I would love to give developers for free is an offline-first experience. You write everything in Rust, compile it to WebAssembly, run it as a regular backend on lunatic, but also allow for moving the whole server into the browser for a offline experience. If SQLite is used for the DB, it could also potentially run in the browser.
This doesn't need to move the whole app into the browser, but could do so just for more latency sensitive workloads that don't fit LiveView well. Like form validation on every keypress, etc.

Lunatic: Erlang-Inspired Runtime for WebAssembly
Web socket support was added a few days ago[0], but it's still not part of a release. I will probably push out alpha1 tomorrow including it and a few other changes.
