I'm a big fan of WebAssembly and the idea of WAPM! It's very cool, and I'm hopeful for a more interoperable future.
A quick bug report: the "Open in Shell" feature seems to fail in Firefox due to a CORS problem? It did work in Chrome when I tried it though.
Another question - it seems like a lot of the packages are pretty out of date, for instance the end-of-life Python 3.6 - clicking through to the GitHub page it looks like it's managed by a wapm-packages organization, and managed by Wasmer itself. Will they get more updates now that the new version of WAPM is out? Is it more of a community driven thing? (And an additional bug report, the Wasix link in the wapm-packages/python README is broken)
- syrusakbary 5y agoI was able to get the shell running in Firefox (for example, running ls or echo "hello"), but I think you are right that something is off when you try to install a package. Looking into it right now! Some packages (like Python 3.6) are a bit out of date. We are planning to update most of them as languages add native support for Wasm and WASI. But yes, in general the packages are mainly community driven. For example, you should be able to try irb / Ruby latest version here (thanks to their WASI support upstream a few weeks ago!) https://wapm.io/katei/irb https://wapm.io/katei/irb

(Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null). It is every package. Looks neat anyway! thanks.
