runno VS fs

Oh awesome!! I've just added Trealla to my issues list to add it to Runno.

If you go into settings you can switch stdin echo on/off. I have stdio devices set up to return their file type as "Character Device" (see: https://github.com/taybenlor/runno/blob/main/packages/wasi-m...). It seems like some binaries handle this well and act like they are directly connected to the TTY (e.g. my quickjs example). Not sure how they determine that. I'm very much coming at this from a web-developer interested in WASI direction, and not from any experience with OSes or linux.

Runno installs its packages using WAPM, it's based off a fork of WebAssembly.sh and so adding support for a new language already on WAPM is quite simple. If you're interested here's the PR. The important change is:

You can use File System Standard https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/ to write data for that origin (Firefox doesn't implement File System Access API, nonetheless a File object can still be written to local disk using File API).

Both Firefox and Chromium (Chrome) have implemented WHATWG File System Standard.

Can you just slow down for a moment and focus on what you said?

As others have pointed out the standard is here:

https://fs.spec.whatwg.org/

> - considered harmful by other browser vendors

It is literally being drafted in conjunction by all the major browsers.

> - shipped by default in Chrome

So what? I for one am thankful that Chromium enables features earlier than other browsers. If you don't want the Chromium implementation then don't use it.

Score another point for memfs, the in-memory node.js fe impl.

WHATWG recently took up File System Access spec as their FS spec. It both looks semi promising, but they seem to only care about & are only building specs for specifically emscripten wasm users. Only sync apis, only usable from dedicated workers... there's some hopes for more latter but feels super weird to see the web finally get fs access & have it be fast... but for it to be extremely odd shaped hand tailored to a very narrow class of use.
