    There are lots of solutions to this, I was randomly looking into this yesterday purely out of curiosity and it looks to me like wasmi is the current go-to option.

    Hello guys, i was looking for a no std wasm interpreter and i found out about wasmi: https://github.com/paritytech/wasmi/, but when i tried it i get an error module env not found. I suspect that in my program i call an extern function putchar() to be able to print and wasmi doesnt support that, but other interpreters i tried support it, for example wain. Are there any alrernatives, or am i doing sth wrong here. I dont have a deep wasm knowledge, i was just wanted to experiment with wasm in a no std enviroment. Heres my code:

    It is a lot, but not quite 1000, yet. From https://webassembly.github.io/spec/core/appendix/index-instr... I see 436 instructions including SIMD which is over half the population. If I filtered it correctly, it looks like there are about 203 instructions in Wasm without SIMD. Many of those are not necessary for most programs.

    There at least three small Wasm interpreters in Rust

    3kloc https://github.com/k-nasa/wai

    500loc https://github.com/rustwasm/wasm-bindgen/tree/HEAD/crates/wa...

    This list has 169 Wasm instructions https://github.com/rolfrm/wasm-lisp/blob/master/instruction....

    Wirth's RISC is neat, I'd love to re-do it in RISC-V (only 47 instructions in the base ISA). UM, Chifir and UXN look like Art (not pejorative), I'll definitely read the Chifir paper. They would be great systems to run on top of Wasm.

    One might be able squeeze a Chifir VM into an ESP-32 (with external PSRAM).
