Speaking from the Rust SIG perspective: The Rust compiler in Fedora
can already produce working wasm32 binaries if
rust-std-static-wasm32-unknown-unknown is installed, no other setup
required.
Running WASM binaries is a different problem ... earlier this year,
there was an attempt to package wasmtime (a high-performance WASM
runtime with support for WASI written in Rust), but this effort was
ultimately abandoned due to unresolved legal questions (unclear
license terms of some of its sub-components).
If these problems could be resolved, having wasmtime in Fedora might
be a great addition.
IIRC the problematic components were only used in tests and could just
be stripped. Could be wrong, though.
