WebAssembly WASM

Open-source WebAssembly projects categorized as WASM

WebAssembly (abbreviated WASM) is a binary instruction format for a stack-​based virtual machine. WebAssembly is an open standard that defines a portable binary-code format for executable programs, and a corresponding textual assembly language, as well as interfaces for facilitating interactions between such programs and their host environment.

Top 15 WebAssembly WASM Projects

  • assemblyscript

    A TypeScript-like language for WebAssembly.

    Project mention: Ezno's checker (a Javascript type checker and compiler written in Rust) is now open source | /r/rust | 2023-06-08

    This is kinda the idea behind AssemblyScript, but IIRC it's more of a low-level typescript-ish syntax for WebAssembly.

  • wasmboy

    Game Boy / Game Boy Color Emulator Library, 🎮written for WebAssembly using AssemblyScript. 🚀Demos built with Preact and Svelte. ⚛️

  • raw-wasm

    Raw WebAssembly demos

    Project mention: Web assembly book? | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 2023-04-21
  • runno

    Browser-based code runner that can be embedded as an iframe or used as a library.

    Project mention: Show HN: I built a WASI playground for running CLI binaries in the browser | news.ycombinator.com | 2022-10-09

    Oh awesome!! I've just added Trealla to my issues list to add it to Runno.

    If you go into settings you can switch stdin echo on/off. I have stdio devices set up to return their file type as "Character Device" (see: https://github.com/taybenlor/runno/blob/main/packages/wasi-m...). It seems like some binaries handle this well and act like they are directly connected to the TTY (e.g. my quickjs example). Not sure how they determine that. I'm very much coming at this from a web-developer interested in WASI direction, and not from any experience with OSes or linux.

  • waforth

    Small but complete dynamic Forth Interpreter/Compiler for and in WebAssembly

    Project mention: Bunch of questions about forth | /r/Forth | 2023-02-23

    Concerning the point 8. There is an online Forth system demo Thurtle (in the browser) with turtle graphics, which is based on WAForth.

  • Uno.Wasm.Bootstrap

    A simple nuget package to run C# code in a WASM-compatible browser

  • Web49

    Web49: WebAssembly Interpeter

    Project mention: Show HN: I wrote a WebAssembly Interpreter and Toolkit in C | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-01-09

    > I developed a unique way to write interpreters based on threaded code jumps and basic block versioning when I made MiniVM (https://github.com/FastVM/minivm). It was both larger and more dynamic than WebAssembly.

    I'd be very interested to read more about this. It looks like you are using "one big function" with computed goto (https://github.com/FastVM/Web49/blob/main/src/interp/interp....). My experience working on this problem led me to the same conclusion as Mike Pall, which is that compilers do not do well with this pattern (particularly when it comes to register allocation): http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2011-02/msg00742.html

    I'm curious how you worked around the problem of poor register allocation in the compiler. I've come to the conclusion that tail calls are the best solution to this problem: https://blog.reverberate.org/2021/04/21/musttail-efficient-i...

  • InfluxDB

    Access the most powerful time series database as a service. Ingest, store, & analyze all types of time series data in a fully-managed, purpose-built database. Keep data forever with low-cost storage and superior data compression.

  • scheme

    An R7RS Scheme implemented in WebAssembly

    Project mention: Implementing Cosine in C from Scratch | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-05

    I went through the same exercise implementing trig functions for scheme in webassembly...

    It was a rabbit hole for sure

  • wasm2lua

    wasm2lua: converting WASM into Lua

  • xxhash-wasm

    A WebAssembly implementation of xxHash

  • xiaoxuan-vm
