And the language you use to target WASM is... C? I'm not necessarily saying it's a good language, but it's an excellent abstract machine. It won't die.

- SkyMarshal 4y agoJust about every language can compile or transpile to WASM: https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-wasm-langs
- pjmlp 4y agoThere are plenty of WASM runtimes without any C on them.
- qsort 4y agoI'm not talking about the language you use to write the runtime. I'm talking about the language you use to write the code that becomes the WASM that the runtime runs. They not need be the same. As others have pointed out you can compile pretty much everything to WASM, but it's most often done with the same languages you'd use to compile to native code; C, C++, Rust, the usual suspects.
- pjmlp 4y agoD, Go and C# use their own bootstrapped compilers, just to give three examples from many others.
