1. wasi-libc

   1 53 876 7.9 C

   WASI libc implementation for WebAssembly

3. libkrun

   2 8 982 9.0 Rust

   A dynamic library providing Virtualization-based process isolation capabilities

   

   libkrun (on Linux) is probably a closer comparison (though still not quite the same). https://github.com/containers/libkrun

4. StarlingMonkey

   3 2 129 8.7 C++

   The StarlingMonkey JS runtime

5. jerryscript

   4 16 7,058 8.2 C

   Ultra-lightweight JavaScript engine for the Internet of Things.

   

   I believe the team has a working build of JerryScript [1] to test out the C bindings, but I’m not sure that will be released.

   My understanding is that work on the Wasmtime VM guest is ongoing, which will enable Hyperlight to run the SterlingMonkey engine [2]. This is a WebAssembly build of Firefox’s SpiderMonkey engine which was donated by Fastly to the Bytecode Alliance.

   That said though; I agree it would be great to see runtimes like V8 and JSC run directly on Hyperlight. There are good reasons why people might prefer those over StarlingMonkey (compat comes to mind), and it would be neat to see how much faster they could start compared to conventional VM deployments.
