What's the selling point of Wasmer over the JVM or BEAM?

• syrusakbary 7y ago
  JVM requires almost all your stack to be rewritten for it. Because WebAssembly permits languages to be usable in the web, almost any other language (C, C++, Rust, Go and even Java) is now working to be compiled to WebAssembly. Therefore you don’t need to adapt your stack to run it in Wasmer :)

    > "JVM requires almost all your stack to be rewritten for it." This applies no more to the JVM than to Wasmer. There exists WASM to JVM bytecode transpilers [0]. [0] - https://github.com/cretz/asmble https://github.com/cretz/asmble

      Although your point is completely right, once your application is in wasm perhaps you can use directly a wasm vm (wasmer) instead of another transpiler and the jvm :)
