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.

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.

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!)
