Out of the loop: WASM for non-web projects

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

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

    A fast and secure runtime for WebAssembly

  • wasmer

    🚀 The leading Wasm Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • botnet

    Multiplayer programming game using Rust and WebAssembly

  • I was/am working on a project (https://github.com/JMS55/botnet), where users upload scripts compiled to WASM to control entities on a game server, so that they can write custom behavior.

  • bytehound

    A memory profiler for Linux.

  • wasm-as-html

    Distribute a wasm SPA as HTML by wrapping it as a polyglot "html+wasm+zip"

  • This vacation, I've got around to this clever stupid solution to embed an HTML/Browser polyfill into the WASM module without changing any of its actual native functionality. Make your programs run it on user's machines that don't even know what PyPI/WASI/wasmtime is! Just give them an '''html''' page.

  • extism

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

  • There's a project working on a generic solution for this: https://github.com/extism/extism

  • rusty-hermit

    Discontinued Hermit for Rust. [Moved to: https://github.com/hermit-os/hermit-rs]

  • https://github.com/hermitcore/rusty-hermit is one such project for a mini VM in Rust.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • gc

    Branch of the spec repo scoped to discussion of GC integration in WebAssembly

  • To be fair, there is a GC proposal and some runtimes might even already be working on it, but as of today we have no WASM runtime that handles garbage collection.
