This is awesome to see, even for a none Ruby developer, as I believe WASM is going to become the default target for so much more than in the browser. Cloud (particularly at the edge), App plugins, even embedded devices are all going to use WASM in the future. Any movement forward on any platform is good for all of us. For any Python devs like myself, Pyodide is doing incredible things and can already run much of the scientific Python stack in the browser. https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide This is the Python bug tracking adding WASM support to cpython natively: https://bugs.python.org/issue40280 https://bugs.python.org/issue40280

Yeah we really need capsicum a thing without web assembly too, and this helps!

It would be pretty interesting if there were a standalone desktop WASM+canvas runtime that didn’t drag the entirety of a browser around with it. It would be a good fit for small to moderate sized cross platform utilities that have no use for the majority of the features provided by a web engine.

  Add a WebGPU context to the canvas and it would be a brilliant platform.

  That’s exactly where Flutter is heading in 2022 as far as I know dependent on WASM-GC becoming an actual thing but they already have a working compiler for it.
