Wasmer takes WebAssembly libraries mainstream with WAI

• wit-bindgen

  27 877 9.4 Rust

  A language binding generator for WebAssembly interface types

  

Interesting little discussion linked about this fork of WAI from wit-bindgen:

• proposal-decimal

  16 412 7.8 HTML

  Built-in decimal datatype in JavaScript

  

would it be possible, for example, to access the standard decimal library of C# or Python via Javascript, thus not having to wait for the TC39 spec / implementation? [1]

  A language binding generator for `wai` (a precursor to WebAssembly interface types) (by wasmerio)

  

Decimal values are not currently represented as a first-class type by WAI (as int, floats or string types are) but I believe it would be a great idea to do so.

Would you mind opening an issue in the WAI repository [1] so we can follow up there? Thanks!

• vscode-wasm

  3 128 4.4 Rust

  WebAssembly extension for VSCode (by wasmerio)

  

It's been this way for a little bit already (actually since 3 years ago! [1]).

It was an intentional thing though, because we want to put this extension under a common group, not something that only Wasmer owns... that's why we haven't changed it yet. But I agree that probably using WebAssembly Foundation is perhaps not the best name :)

  🚀 The leading Wasm Runtime supporting WASIX, WASI and Emscripten

  

I'm not entirely convinced Wasmer will ever be able to shake its constant controversies.

I'm by no means a fan of the Bytecode Alliance, and would much prefer a startup tackle the problems that Wasmer is tackling, but between the trademarks [1], the lackluster response to the trademarks (How did you not know your lawyers were trying to trademark “WebAssembly”? Seriously?) [2], the working conditions [3], the drama surrounding the BCA [4][5], and everything else, I don't think Wasmer is the right choice either, at least not under current leadership.

• wasi-sdk

  11 1,131 7.6 Shell

  WASI-enabled WebAssembly C/C++ toolchain

  

A more lightweight tool than emscripten is the WASI SDK (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-sdk/releases). However, it doesn't generate JS or HTML.

• component-model

  33 827 8.2 Python

  Repository for design and specification of the Component Model

  

> WASM is a runtime only. It does not try to define a component model.

This GitHub page seems to contradict that:
