  Wasmer is considered a bad actor by many, and there are many in the WASM space who want nothing to do with them. It's no accident Wasmer isn't a part of the Bytecode Alliance [1]. A particularly damning incident was the time they tried and failed to trademark "WEBASSEMBLY", an open W3C standard [2] [3]. There are many choice words for companies trying these kinds of stunts. Webassembly is growing despite Wasmer's existence. Not because of them. Be cautious.
