The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
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.

Random Testing of WebAssembly Implementations Using Semantically Valid Programs
The end of the related work section cites both wasm-smith and the Binaryen fuzzer (https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/wiki/Fuzzing) and says, "They both provide a fuzzer that turns a stream of bytes into a WebAssembly module in order to test implementations. Their fuzzers always generate semantically valid test cases, but lack the targeting and tuning that Xsmith provides."
I look forward to reading more about how they do the targeting and tuning.

What's the best way to generate WASM programmatically?
Probably https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/, there were various rust bindings to it.

Build a WebAssembly Language for Fun and Profit: Code Generation
The final phase of our compiler is code generation. This phase takes the AST and converts it to a set of executable instructions. In our case, WebAssembly. To accomplish this, we are going to use a popular WebAssembly compiler toolchain called binaryen.

Build a WebAssembly Language for Fun and Profit: Lexing
In this guide, we will be using TypeScript and NodeJS. The concepts are highly portable, so feel free to use the environment you're most comfortable with. Our only major dependency, binaryen, has a simple C API. You are welcome to skip ahead to the next section if you're using a different language.

Rust and WebAssembly without a Bundler
What are the size and performance benefits of processing the Wasm payload with wasm-opt?

Is WebAssembly Text (WAT) Just Another IR?
I would recommend looking into binaryen as it has it's own IR and can perform optimizations over it. It's also simpler than LLVM and has the option to produce binaries with debug names.

What are the advantages or disadvantages of compiling to VM Bytecode vs native machine code?
You can also use binaryen to optimize your wasm output

Store SQLite in Cloudflare Durable Objects
The asyncification is achieved by unwinding and rewinding the local stack. With wasm-opt, this is done on a WASM level as post-build transformation. This makes it a language-agnostic approach. Once a WASM module is asyncified it needs to be used through the JavaScript wrapper Asyncify. A good introduction to asyncify can be found here: Using asynchronous web APIs from WebAssembly.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing binaryen and asyncify you can also consider the following projects:
wasm-bindgen - Facilitating high-level interactions between Wasm modules and JavaScript
workers-wasi
wasi-sdk - WASI-enabled WebAssembly C/C++ toolchain
wasi-libc - WASI libc implementation for WebAssembly
wasm-sqlite - [Experimental] SQLite compiled to WASM with pluggable page storage.
EasyOCR - Ready-to-use OCR with 80+ supported languages and all popular writing scripts including Latin, Chinese, Arabic, Devanagari, Cyrillic and etc.
rusqlite - Ergonomic bindings to SQLite for Rust
do-sqlite - [Experimental] Persist SQLite in a Cloudflare Durable Object
