Is WebAssembly a good fit for microcontrollers? Does it stack up well against Forth or its derivatives like [0]? [0] https://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/anton/eu

- vshymanskyy 6y agoThe question is too generic. Wasm3 has some quirks when used directly on micro-controllers, and this is exactly why we're doing Wasm3 - to find if/how we can use it. For example, Linux uses eBPF for similar purposes. PAF could be used, as far as I can see. However WebAssembly will have some benefits: well-developed infrastracture, toolchains, language and tool support. Ability to run in browsers, etc.
