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.

Rust + WASM + Typescript [+ React]
There are many options, but what worked best for me is compiling with cargo-wasi and loading the resulting Wasm file with browser_wasi_shim. Using wasm32-wasi instead of wasm32-unknown-unknown requires a bit more work (the communication with JS has to be set up manually), but gives the flexibility of having just a Wasm file that can be dropped in and loaded dynamically. (There's wit-bindgen for generating wrapping code according to an interface definition but I didn't have much success with it.)
- Is it possible to read a file through webassembly?

Extending web applications with WebAssembly and Python
The webassembly-language-runtimes is focused on providing WASI-based language interpreters, what would require a WASI polyfill at the browser level (https://wasi.dev/polyfill/) and (https://github.com/bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim).
Pyodide is certainly another option, but is emscripten based, not based in webassembly-language-runtimes or WASI.

The Tug-of-War over Server-Side WebAssembly
Indeed, some people are doing this:
- WASI once had an official polyfill https://wasi.dev/polyfill/, now apparently succeeded by https://github.com/bjorn3/browser_wasi_shim
- wasmer-js provides a JS polyfill for WASI https://docs.wasmer.io/integrations/js/wasi
- Cloudflare has a WIP polyfill https://github.com/cloudflare/workers-wasi
I'm generally leery of non-temporary polyfills, so I'm not sure that any of these feel like a long-term viable option for me.

Extism Makes WebAssembly Easy
Indeed, webassembly is moving extremely slowly. I started a project years ago expecting https://github.com/WebAssembly/memory-control/blob/main/prop... and https://github.com/WebAssembly/memory64 to be fixed at some point. Neither are yet, and the project still suffers from it to this day.
I think wasm is still great without these fixes, but I have lost confidence in the idea that wasm will reach its full potential any time soon.

The Tug-of-War over Server-Side WebAssembly
Additionally, googlers are championing memory control https://github.com/WebAssembly/memory-control/blob/main/prop..., which provides memory protection.

How do Rust WebAssembly apps free unused memory?
But researching it a bit I found this issue, so it clearly seems to be a problem for a bunch of people out there. And apparently both V8 and Spidermonkey have already addressed this quite recently, see this issue.

WebAssembly and C++
FWIW there is a proposal in the works to add page-based protection, which will allow unmapping the 0 page, restoring the trap-on-null-deref behavior that is important for many languages with safety checks.
