  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Graal

    GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

    Just fyi - there is an open bug to target wasm for Graal java compilation. https://github.com/oracle/graal/issues/3391

    to a very large extent, it is open till LLVM upstream is more functionally complete to support GC.

    wasm doesnt support GC to the way Java and Graal does. Which is why Graal is seriously impressive piece of tech.

  • extism

    The framework for building with WebAssembly (wasm). Easily load wasm modules, move data, call functions, and build extensible apps.

    For anyone who want to experiment with WebAssembly in Java, we just shipped a Java Host SDK[0] for Extism[1] which makes it about as easy as possible to call wasm functions from your Java programs.
