I'm looking forward to seeing this supported in Wasmer as well. A lot of these announcements seem to target wasmtime as the default standalone runtime (and it has come a long way, especially with the addition of the JIT) but having the option to compile WASM to native code ahead-of-time is still very valuable.

Both Wasmtime and Lucet can AOT compile Wasm, for what it's worth.

WAVM can also compile WebAssembly code to an optimized, native object file.

It can also embed the compiled code into the WebAssembly module, so that the same module can directly run the precompiled code (when using WAVM) or be executed as a standard module by another runtime.

TIL! Lucet is being switched over to Wasmtime as well [1]. I'll have to take another look at it.
