   Ah yes, that famously lightweight way of distributing software, full on virtualised containers, each running an OS.

3. masc

   2 1 2 5.4 Go

   Build browser applications in Go using The Elm Architecture (crossbreed of bubble tea and vecty)

   

   I've used wasm to write web applications in Go that run in the browser, both HTML applications (https://github.com/octoberswimmer/masc) and TUI apps using xterm.js (https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/pull/887).

   Same here! Can you share what you're working on? I'm (slowly) making a 3D CAD modeling API, so you write Rust code to define a model, and compile it to WASM so it can hot-reload and let you iterate faster.

6. wasmer-js

   5 10 982 8.9 Rust

   Monorepo for Javascript WebAssembly packages by Wasmer

   

7. wasi-sdk

   6 12 1,349 8.1 CMake

   WASI-enabled WebAssembly C/C++ toolchain

   

   Alternatively you can use the wasi-sdk toolchain instead of Emscripten:

10. vscode-kcide

    8 2 55 7.3 TypeScript

    Retro assembly IDE for VSCode

    

    Not specific to wasmer, but WASI runtimes are much more lightweight than Docker, especially on Windows or macOS.

    For instance on macOS, a wasmer installation is a single 45 MByte executable (and if performance doesn't matter as much, the wasm3 WASI interpreter is a 255 KB(!) executable) - compared to that, a macOS Docker installation is 1.5 GBytes (and that doesn't even include any docker images).

    WASI itself can also be used in places where Docker doesn't make sense, for instance in this VSCode extension I'm using a cmdline tool compiled to a 209 KB WASI blob:

    Not a big one, but this was of personal note: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wit-bindgen/issues/306
