WASM instead of C Dependencies?

• bimg

  1 2,364 0.0 Go

  Go package for fast high-level image processing powered by libvips C library

  I have web applications written in Rust and Go that need some basic image processing (reading JPEGs, PNGs, writing JPEGs, WebPs, AVIFs and resizing). This is something I always struggle with, because most libraries for image processing are written in C (libpng, libwebp, mozjpeg; or higher-level ones like vips). While there are usually dependencies in each language build on top of those C dependencies, like bimg for Go, I don’t like having C dependencies in a Rust, Go or even Node.js projects.

  🥑 Language focused docker images, minus the operating system.

  

  This is highly subjective, but I really want my Dockerfiles to either be FROM scratch or FROM gcr.io/distroless/static (GoogleContainerTools/distroless). To qualify, my applications must compile to static binaries and must not require libc. The worst case I’d be fine with is FROM gcr.io/distroless/base (static compiled, but libc is fine).

  Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser.

  

  GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh is actually pretty close to what I'd want, but isn't published as a Rust dependency and heavily relies on Node.js so doesn't work in Cloudflare Workers.
