Hey! A WasmLabs team member here :). We're planning to port several runtimes as part of our WebAssembly Language Server initiative [1]. Porting things to Wasm+WASI is sometimes challenging. There are some deep-dives in our blog around this topic [2]. [1] https://github.com/vmware-labs/webassembly-language-runtimes/ https://github.com/vmware-labs/webassembly-language-runtimes...

I'll start by saying I'm a big fan of wasm but just a couple of comments about the articles. I really with the WebAssembly community would stop quoting that tweet from Solomon Hykes. It's taken somewhat out of context and while at the time it was a big shoutout to the wasm underdog it's now a bit over used. Wasm really needs to justify itself with more than just a tweet and I think that it can. "Polyglot - 40+ languages can be compiled to Wasm" is a bit misleading which anyone would see if you listed the 40+ languages. A lot of them are going to be very obscure ones and a lot of the popular ones are on that list. Factually correct but you're just setting people up to be disappointed. "40+ languages oh boy!.....What the heck is Zig? and no Python?!" (yes, I know you can sort of run Python if you run the entire interpreter)
