The escape hatch that turned out to be french doors
Outside a browser, same rule. The runtime has to offer it, no WASI standard obliges anybody to, and a runtime that wanted to would be binding to native graphics libraries to get there. afmpeg runs on wazero, which is zero-dependency and pure Go, and there's a line in the justfile building the whole library with CGO_ENABLED=0 on every run so that promise can't rot.

A new WebAssembly runtime enters the arena... Is it worthy?
Wasmtime is mature, fast, and backed by the Bytecode Alliance. Wasmer has been around for years, V8 speaks wasm fluently, and if you're writing Go, wazero is already the de-facto answer.
- Wazero v1.12.0

Show HN: Pollen – distributed WASM runtime, no control plane, single binary
Thanks! It's just Wazero's default config[1] right now, so it implements (and is constrained to) those capabilities--WASI p1 is supported, WASI p2 isn't (Wazero yet to implement). Yes to SIMD, no to GC and tail calls (I think), etc. Full capabilities can be inferred from digging around in the code linked below.
Good suggestion on listing capabilities, will add a note.

Watgo – A WebAssembly Toolkit for Go
You're welcome :)
The harnesses are documented here: https://github.com/eliben/watgo/tree/main/tests
Note that I had to switch the harness from wazero to Node (unfortunately!) when it turned out wazero doesn't support gc and other new proposals (e.g. your comment here https://github.com/wazero/wazero/issues/2483)
Thank you very much for maintaining wazero - I love that project, and am looking forward to being able to use it for this in the future.

Code Mode: Batching MCP Tool Calls in a WASM Sandbox to Cut LLM Token Usage by 30-80%
The WASM layer is powered by Wazero, a pure Go WebAssembly runtime. No CGO, no external dependencies. VoidLLM stays a single static binary.

Epsilon: A WASM virtual machine written in Go
Yes. You need some syscalls and unsafe, but it's possible.
wazero does this, on amd64 and arm64: https://github.com/wazero/wazero
You can read more about the approach - from the creator - here:

Poor Man's Back End-as-a-Service (BaaS), Similar to Firebase/Supabase/Pocketbase
There was also this wrapper of sorts to make the wazero thing genuinely easier to do and it was on r/golang but I don't remember its name but I do think it is semi popular.
