- chrisseaton 5y agoI mean WASM as a JIT target, not a JIT source - unless that's what you mean and Wasmtime does this?
- rgrmrts 5y agoAh my bad, I think I misunderstood your comment. I was reaffirming this: > wasm can still be JITimed and get close to native performance I’m also not super familiar with this subject, so I unfortunately don’t understand the distinction you’re making between source and target. > Seems like it's not really providing the needed tools and you'd have to build a lot of basics on top of it My understanding is that this is accurate, and folks like the Bytecode Alliance[0] are working on building that ecosystem of tools on top of WASM, and I see wasmtime as being one of those tools.
