There’s a cunning workaround for this challenge; rather than compiling JS to Wasm, you can instead compile a JavaScript engine to WebAssembly then use that to execute your code.

  • wapm-cli

    Discontinued 📦 WebAssembly Package Manager (CLI)

  • You can see this paying off with wapm, which lets you download applications that would have normally required compilation for your environment and run them anywhere with a supported runtime, which is imo pretty neat.

  • lunatic

    Lunatic is an Erlang-inspired runtime for WebAssembly

  • There are other interesting applications too, like Lunatic, which replicates the BEAM VM experience but with any language that compiles to wasm and can have language bindings written for it.

  • 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.
