This is really interesting to me. I used to run a team that owned a software library (that you've probably heard of) that runs on Mac, Windows, iOS, Android, and embedded Linux. The product is over a decade old, so it's in C++ because that was the only real choice back then. We bolted on static analysis yet still had senior engineers working full time to iron out stability issues (deadlocks and other race conditions). I've been thinking about alternatives for a while now; Rust naturally, but also C# with Native AOT in .NET 7 (only supports Windows and Linux so far, but maybe in the future). It got me thinking though, why have to choose? There are a good number of languages that can compile to WASM, so maybe just bridge the platform-native presentation layer to WASM and put all the core logic in WASM. It "should" provide near-native performance and open up many other languages, and provide a nice migration path to run the existing C++ and new code in another language side-by-side. I know it's not explicitly the goal, but Extism seems like it could provide that functionality. I'll be following this project!
