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.

Wazero: The zero dependency WebAssembly runtime
https://github.com/tetratelabs/wazero/releases/tag/v1.7.0
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).

WASM by Example
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!

Show HN: Sqinn-Go is a Golang library for accessing SQLite databases in pure Go
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.

Jacobin: Minimal JVM written in Go and capable of running Java 17 classes
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 :)

Val, a high-level systems programming language
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:

Running WebAssembly code in Go
The next step is to create a Go project and run our wasm file with some runtime. For this, I chose wasmer-go.

Running Go code inside a NodeJS app with WASM (Part 1/2, 2023)
However, there are other, more fleshed-out, libraries like wasmer-go that provides a runtime and help us navigate around these limitations. The wasmer-go documentation provides a good summary of these challenges:
-
How to develop a Web app in go
wasmer-go
-
Plugo - A plugin library for Go.
I did some research and found a WebAssembly runtime that can run Go code that has been compiled to WASM. It seems to me that one could implement a plugin system using this. I might try.

The Carcinization of Go Programs
Thank you Syrus, appreciate your work with Wasmer. Congrats on the 3.0 release and Windows support! I just fixed guregu/trealla on WAPM to work with the latest changes. I think WAPM is very cool and I hope more people start doing releases on it.
These are the two issues I'm referring to:

First steps with Golang and WebAssembly
Time to implement the other side of the story. I have found a WebAssembly runtime for Go. Wasmer-go is a complete and mature WebAssembly runtime for Go based on Wasmer.

Choosing scripting extension - need advice
If performance is your main concern, there's Wasmer-go, but if you'd rather avoid CGO dependencies, there's wazero.

WASM without Node.js?
See wasmer-go for server-side runtime.
-
Options for running WASM in Go?
I've been looking at wasmer-go, and it seems to be quite performant given that the runtime is written in Rust and invoked through CGo bindings. Is this what everyone is using?
-
Trying to write a cross-language library
Go: I don't know of anything higher-level than either exposing a C ABI from Rust and then calling it using cgo or using wasmer-go to embed a WebAssembly runtime in your Go program.
What are some alternatives?
wasmer - π The leading Wasm Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten
napi-rs - A framework for building compiled Node.js add-ons in Rust via Node-API
wasmtime - A fast and secure runtime for WebAssembly
wasmtime-go - Go WebAssembly runtime powered by Wasmtime
