kutil VS wazero

For reference, here's my implementation. Note that my wrapper supports both structured and traditional logging APIs.

For JS in Go use goja, which offers excellent integration with Go. Also I maintain an extension that adds Common-JS compatibility to it.

I think your instinct is right. For all my projects I use these wrappers. If you have any feedback or contributions they would be much appreciated. I know it's a losing battle, but there's no choice but to fight. Semper fi.

This is mostly what I did with my kutil logging library (sorry, no good documentation on how to use it yet). So I can use the same API in all my code and then pick various backends per project in order to better unify the log. For example, in Kubernetes I can use klog as the backend. I also wrote my own "simple" backend that does everything that I personally want. I'm sure there are other similar libraries out there.

I really like the idea of an Extended JSON, so I created my own version called "CJSON". The code is pretty straightforward.

This includes the final release of the new optimizing compiler, which is a big improvement over the previous one.

The new version also adds experimental support for threads and snapshot/restore (setjmp/longjmp).

This is already being used by go-pgquery, all will mean that sqlc won't need to ship to almost copies of wazero (these features had been implemented on a friendly fork, and have now been up-streamed).

Wazero looks super cool. I saw somewhere that programs can be run with a timeout, which sounds great for sandboxing. The program input is just a slice of bytes [1], so an interesting use case would be to use something like Nats [2] to distribute programs to different servers. Super simple distributed computing!

It is slower.

The WASM runtime wazero [1] uses a compiler on amd64 and arm64 (on Linux, macOS, Windows, and FreeBSD), but the current compiler is very fast (at compiling), but very naive (generates less than optimal code).

An optimizing compiler is currently being developed, and should be released in the coming months. I'm optimistic that this compiler will cover the performance gap between WASM and modernc.

I am a fan of the Jacobin project! For your uses, you may also want to consider wazero [1], a pure-go WebAssembly runtime. Full disclosure: I am on the team :)

No longer does Wasm/WASI need JS host! There are many spec-compliant runtimes built for environments from tiny embedded systems up to beefy arm/x86 racks:
