it's a fairly recently introduced capability, so it's understandable. I'm pretty excited about it too

So cool. Wanted to build something using WASM for like forever. Always hesitated because I felt the setup and build-processes aren't streamlined at all. Wasmer seems promising. Can't wait to try it. The WASM book and the MDN docs didn't give me the push to go on with WASM. This video did. Thanks a lot.

It's not enough that they are really talented developers, it's the fact that they work together as a team or just helpful contributors, most of the time! We often underestimate that kind of human relationship: working together towards a better future. We have a lot to learn from these kinds of interactions and their results in the real world, be it software related, NGO related, or just people in a local community building a better community for everyone.

I'd be curious what the common known pitfalls of that are, and how to avoid them. Like the xkcd "one standard to rule them all" becoming "now we have yet another standard." As someone else said, we don't need yet another JVM or DCOM or CORBA. But if there's a way to make bi-directional FFI convenient and architecture independent, I'm all for it.

Does autocompletion work for these libraries? Does the lsp know that the uc object has the method hash with it?

When using records, how do you instantiate an instance of the record type in the language using the library?

I really like the idea, and believe that this can be used in the future by smaller/newer languages to have strong ecosystems, given they implement wasm integration. The only problem that I see right now, is that you don't have LSP for the WAI bindings on Rust for e.g, so this makes developing anything more complex kinda annoying.

I have a question. I’m currently working on a personal project and I’m wondering if there’s a way to define 2 functions with same name but different argument types and return types in the wai file? Similar to what we can do with traits (think function overloading)

👍Really nice👍!

Are wai files standard format or is it something by wasmer? with how webassembly is, I'm scared it might turn into a mess of an ecosystem like javascript

is this an implementation of the new "Component Model" in WASI? Great video, btw - thanks for sharing - packed with good info. When a language with a runtime publishes to WA, will that include a WA coded runtime for that language (like C#)? thx IE, will it perform like a WA module coded in Rust, or more like a garbage collected language.

so is it running rust code or is it generating code in the language you use it?

Very cool!

There used to be such a list, I think they recently did a major revamp of the website (and merged wapm.io into wasmer.io). It seems like there is a list of the major languages here wasmer.io/products/runtime but I'm also not sure if the comprehensive list exists somewhere. Is there a particular language you're curious about?

Ok, I like the idea of ​​webassemblies but there is some problem because I can't write libraries specifically for webassemblies, this problem is a problem with rust collections. If anyone knows how to solve this problem for example HashMap answer me

This could be amazing. I love using Rust built items, but I'm not a big fan of coding in it, yet. Right now I'm still heavily coding in Go and their dataframe handling package is unmaintained. I've been eyeing polars (and a lot of other crates) and have been wishing to use those in Go. I know the real solution is to just use Rust, but that's not always an option to rewrite everything. Maybe this will be the start for utilizing more Rust under the hood of other languages?

You don't necessarily have to write everything if you use the web services architecture; I know it's kind of a buzzword, but part of why it's great is that you can implement your backend in multiple languages. You can keep all of your non-performance-critical code in Go and fallback to Rust when you really need it.

Your entire app does NOT need to use one language of the other. "Interprocess Comunicaition" and "Foreign Function Interface" might be good search terms as general ideas to interoperate Rust and Go (Other than just using wasm, of course)

I am quite surprised the .wai file is not automatically generated based on the Rust code. I realise this might be a problem for a library written in a dynamically typed language, but it would be much easier if the file were generated where possible.

The Rust code is generated from the wit file, which is better IMO, because you define the protocol first, and then the implementation. But it would be cool if it would be possible the other way too.

I think the only drawback would be that WASM may be slightly less performant than the equivalent logic running on bare metal (machine code). This will be a non-issue for some use cases, and a complete deal breaker for others.

What would be cool if you could use the generated WAPM package without publishing it to the registry. That's going to be particularly useful for Monorepos and private code base for people who do not want to publish everything to public WAPM registry.

I'm still waiting for WASM's obfuscation to be used maliciously. It feels like WASM has trouble ahead.

For anyone trying to recreate this on their own: *WAPM is deprecated*, and so `cargo wapm` has been replaced by `cargo wasmer`. This is how the metadata configuration looks like in `Cargo.toml`: [package.metadata.wasmer] namespace = "" # same as your wasmerio account handle abi = "wasi" # choose "wasi" for both javascript and python bindings bindings = { wai-version = "0.1.0", exports = "" } # should not contain `_` underscores

In my experience wasm is considerably slower than native rust

Someone should re-write all of the Python libraries into Rust. That way, a collection of universal libraries, written in Rust, could be called from any other language that a programmer may prefer to use. Is there any software that will assist in converting C/C++ source code into Rust source code?

I don't like that the wai file has lowercase everywhere, but the code generated has camel case. Like, why is the "crab" record generated as "Crab" in rust?

You are mistaken.

Actually, the WAI interface is not supported by the Bytecode Alliance, which is defining the officiel WASI protocols. WAI is a fork of wit-bindgen, because wasmer tried to integrate bindings to wasmer into wit, and got rejected, because those 3rd party bindings do not belong in the source project. But the Wasmer CEO got butthurt, and make his own fork from WIT, which he named WAI. You all should rely on the Compoment Model and WIT, worked on by the original WebAssembly designers : The Bytecode Alliance.

I'm aware of the WAI origin story, though I'm not sure anybody got "butthurt". I don't think it makes sense to stick with something solely because it's maintained by the original creators, if that was the case we'd all be using vi or ed instead of Neovim. If you can enumerate the advantages one would get by sticking with WIT, that might be more constructive - for example do they have an equivalent of WAPM?
