  • Excellent comparisons. ~150KB without unicode would make Rust the smallest wasm on Regex101 as far as I can tell. pcrelib comes in at 198KB. Personally, I think ~400KB with unicode features is just fine for .wasm size. The heaviest flavor C# is around 4.91MB and was added back in February of this year. They also had a performance comparison which would also be interesting.

  • teavm

    Compiles Java bytecode to JavaScript, WebAssembly and C

  • For Java, no WASM file is requested. Maybe the Java code was transpiled to JavaScript, perhaps using TeaVM.

  • 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.

  • wasm-gc

    Discontinued gc-sections for wasm

  • To me, the deprecation notice of the wasm-gc project (https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc) reads like this shouldn't be necessary anymore with a recent version of the compiler.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
