This is awesome, congrats on the work.

Is the Toit language compilable to WebAssembly? I think it could be a great win for usage across different ecosystems!

I believe I once managed to make Toit run in web-assembly.

I know for sure that the compiler compiled to it, but I'm pretty sure I also had a "hello world" that worked.

I would need to find that branch and see if it still merges cleanly.

That would be great, thanks! I think if Toit can jump into the Wasm train it could help the language even further (executing cleanly programs in the browser as well!)

You were able to compile Toit code direct to WASM? I guess that required using static types throughout?

Or did you compile the VM to WASM instead, and interpret the Toit code as normal?

I compiled the VM to WASM and ran the bytecode in it.
