C# support on which side? The host or the plugin side? I've got an experimental C# plugin almost working. I think I can do it. A Host SDK library would be pretty easy since it's just FFI to the runtime. > Would be nice if Unity

I haven't used suborbital yet but yeah, that sounds accurate. We're aimed at being a library and Extism itself is focused on building plug-in systems. I just signed up for the waitlist! Looking forward to learning more about it.

Thanks Syrus! wasmer-js looks really cool.

The plugins are, but not the host. You can create pools of plugin instances if you need concurrency. Threading inside a Wasm program is still a new concept but I think it will become more common.

I lay awake at night and think about how to do it. But maybe it's a goal best left unfulfilled :)

> Maybe a "max_MB" property might be more useful to plugin authors, and then just calculate the # of pages internally from that? yeah, that's something to consider. You can only pass in parameters that are a multiple of th

It's a good question. It's hard to understand what all is involved in building something like that until you have to get into the details. You can think of Extism as a layer around wasmtime. There is an ABI of sorts that helps you

by bhelx 4y ago
yes, Wasmtime does use a JIT. We haven't tried on mobile yet, but I think I have some paths to make it work. If this is something you need come join our discord and we can experiment on it!

Your end user would be a user of your application, e.g. a customer. But it could also be a marketplace like situation where people are developing plugins for your customers. Examples of plugin systems are things like VS-Code Extensions, Fig

There will be ways to handle this problem in the future with the Component Model spec. I've seen it working but it's not easy to do yet. As of today though, yes bringing your own runtime is costly.

by bhelx 4y ago
Sounds very cool and like it could be a good fit for our browser based runtime! There are still a few limits, but you can currently run the same plugins in your backend and frontend.

If you release a competing plug-in system using emacs i'll definitely check it out :)

If that is something you need come join the discord and let's work on it! I've been experimenting with higher level languages, specifically quickjs (js) and c#. Python should work from what I know, but I can't speak intellige

We think Lua is great and in many ways, Wasm has yet to catch up! I do think it's still early days for Wasm, but it will.

Lots of good points here. I'll try my best to address them. But you are right, There aren't really complete answers to each of these problems. Regarding #1, it's good to point out that spectre is still an ongoing problem. was

We have an explanation of the manifest here: https://extism.org/docs/concepts/manifest it's still a work in progress. the point about units is a good one. Might be a way to make that more clear.

Point taken. We've been focused on talking to people who have built, or tried to build, plug-in systems. But it's still a confusing concept to the general public without enumerating some examples.

by bhelx 4y ago
for install size, it depends on your architecture, we use wasmtime under the hood so a lot of the size is related to that: https://wasmtime.dev/ You can also take a look at our binary releases to get an idea: https:/&

Currently no. It's up to you to define your own interface. We plan to work on WIT bindings and eventually push support though.

Good points! > where a single Elixir process will be able to use more RAM & all the cores, too. I think you mean a "single instance of the BEAM" here as a single Elixir process is pegged to 1 CPU core.
