crun

A fast and lightweight fully featured OCI runtime and C library for running containers

Project mention: Show HN: dockerc – Docker image to static executable "compiler" | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-06

Yep pretty much.
The executables bundle crun (a container runtime)[0], and a fuse implementation of squashfs and overlayfs. Appended to that is a squashfs of the image.
At runtime the squashfs and overlayfs are mounted and the container is started.

scale

5 460 8.4 C

A framework for building high-performance plugin systems into any application, powered by WebAssembly.

Project mention: WASM by Example | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-15

This is exactly one of the use-cases for the Scale Framework[1]. (Disclaimer: I work on this project)
You can absolutely take a library from one language and run it in another. In a sense, you could kind of see this ability as drastically reducing the need for rewriting sdks, middlewares, etc. across languages, as you could just reuse code from one language across many others. We played around with some fun ideas here, like taking a Rust regex library and using it in a Golang program via a scale function plugin (compiled to Wasm), to the effect of the performance being ~4x faster than native code that uses Go's regex library.
