WasmEdge, a lightweight, high-performance, and extensible WebAssembly runtime

I spent the whole day yesterday (~16 hours) doing various wasm demos in rust, python, typescript to evaluate its suitability in an upcoming project that I am planning.

All I can say re:wasm /bytecodealliance is wowwee! so many runtimes, so many platforms and intermediate formats.

Bindgen macros in rust is imho one of a hundred reasons to learn and love rust.

Really was impressed by the ability to obviate oci containers was slick.

Here is a comprehensive list of wasm runtimes :

Paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.07115.pdf

can't be that lightweight or performant if there is no live demo, live playground or one click platform deploy yet! I mean where is wasmedge suitable other than deep within the big 3 cloud providers?

>The SSVM cold starts in less than 20 milliseconds. Programs in SSVM run even faster than native code (aws arm)

if these claims are true it might make a better candidate for new fly.io machines (300ms cold start) currently using firecracker.
