Zig is also a good option for that, but the language is still in development.
- vrmiguel 3y agoMaybe once Zig supports WASIX
- meepmorp 3y agoNo, let's actually have a standard with some thoughtful design instead of just bunging a bunch of ancient POSIXisms along into another platform. Also, as far as I can tell, it's being pushed exclusively by Wasmer which looks to be a bit shady as a company.
- ayewo 3y agoWasmer attempted to do this in the Ziglang repo barely 4 days ago: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/17115 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/17115
- ngrilly 3y agowasm is enough to do fancy things in the browser, games for example, with Rust or Zig. WASIX is not necessary for this.

- pcwalton 3y agoRegarding Zig, note that the author writes "starting a new project in a memory unsafe language in 2023 is foolish as demonstrated by the endless flow of vulnerabilities."
- cozzyd 3y agoYes but that's a silly argument for most software, which will never see adversarial contact.
