  1. wasmtime

    A lightweight WebAssembly runtime that is fast, secure, and standards-compliant

    Project mention: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024: WebAssembly API | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-29

    (It seems like they want to implement one… someday. It’s vague: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/blob/main/docs/...)
