You mean preview 1? It was never meant to be a finished spec that would remain supported long-term; it was a preview for early adopters and people working in the space to experiment with.

Uh... what?
- yankput 3y agoThere is no development on the preview 1; and the new development went in new direction so the preview1 or snapshot1 or whatever is the name is stuck Luckily the wasix is more pragmatic and continues where that left off
- jeffparsons 3y agoGenuinely curious: what are you working on that makes POSIX compatibility important, but also warrants using Wasm instead of just building native executables? I ask because I'm personally much more excited about the future of WASI, because it brings so much to the table that it feels like it's actually worth the effort of building something new — I see it as a game changer. I.e. what you appear to view as an unnecessary diversion, I see as the whole point. So I'd love to understand more about your perspective and use case.
