If you are looking for a Systems Interface, I don't think the Component Model will be a good fit

Congrats on the release to the WASI team.

TL;DR: WASI 0.3.0 is the Component Model-based WASI proposal. It adds async/await-style capabilities such as actors and streams, and today is runnable in only one server-side Wasm runtime (it is not supported natively by browsers). Unfortunately it still breaks compatibility with the original WASI proposal and runtimes that supported it.

If your goal is to compile existing, unmodified C/C++ programs and libraries to WebAssembly, WASIX may be a more practical option today ( https://wasix.org/ ). Disclosure: I’m part of Wasmer, the company behind WASIX.

This is a fork of Chicory, a bit more context of the relationship between the projects can be found here:

Any background / context around what the Chicory author means in this comment?

> We'll consider merging in changes that make sense from Endive, but under the stewardship of the [Byte Code Alliance] I have very little faith in its future. My words mean nothing though having all but completely lost interest and use for WebAssembly.

What's the background / history of Byte Code Alliance?

Not everyone is on board with CORBA but with WebAssembly, which is basically what the reboot of the component model is, so probably that.

The AssemblyScript folks have a similar opinion.

yeah that is roughly the concern, many runtimes didn't want to continue on past wasip1, mostly because of the component model.

The comment is from the Dylibso CEO.

It's great to see that since the release of Edge.js [1], they started to take Node.js compatibility more seriously (they went from ~40% to about 75% in just 2 months, so either coincidental or not this is clearly a step on the right direction).

Good work to everyone on the Deno team!

Are you not tired of self-promotion?

Yeah, the strategy is literally the same

Thanks Yuri. Keep up the good work

Yes it can :)

Yes, this should be fully possible.

We actually believe Edge.js will a great use case for LLM-generated code.

Yes, it could run in iOS (using JavascriptCore, V8 in jitless mode, or QuickJS), although we don't have a prototype app yet.

It should probably take a few hours with AI to get a demo for it :)

Awesome! Are you planning on setting a license soon? I might have missed it but I don't see it on the GitHub repo.

Just set it to MIT :)
