Yes, wit-bindgen is the way forward here. It's under active development, though a lot of the basic interface-types functionality is implemented and usable. As an example of it in action, check out the wit interface files in this project: https://github.com/deislabs/spiderlightning/blob/main/docs/primer.md

Unlocking the Power of WebAssembly

WebAssembly is extremely portable. WebAssembly runs on: all major web browsers, V8 runtimes like Node.js, and independent Wasm runtimes like Wasmtime, Lucet, and Wasmer.

The bytecode alliance had the lucet project which would be an OS executing WASM application, enabling very strict sandboxing.

I guess lucet could be an under-layer for this but it's not really the same, different levels of the stack. Fascinating.

I also want to use this opportunity to say a big thank you to the teams working on Rust, Wasmer, Wasmtime, Lucet and waSCC. It would be impossible to build Lunatic without all the hard work put into this projects.
