As Web Assembly (WASM) gains momentum we’d like to create a SIG as a place to collaborate
to ensure that Fedora is a great platform to both build and run WASM workloads. This
includes looking at the toolchains needed to build WASM as a target and the runtimes
needed to run WASM. It will provide a place to bring together efforts across different
ecosystems (nodejs, rust, compiler toolchains, etc.) as well as a place where people can
provide self-help when building and running WASM workloads.
If you are interested in a WASM Sig please let us know.
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.
