I regret to inform the community that since my own house was destroyed by russians who invaded my country, Wasm3 has entered a minimal maintenance phase.
ALT At this time, I am unable to continue the development of new features. However, I am committed to keeping the project alive and will actively review and merge incoming Pull Requests. I deeply appreciate your understanding and support during this difficult period. Your contributions to Wasm3 are now more valuable than ever.
Just published wasm2mpy 🚀
It allows you to run #WebAssembly as native @micropython modules.
With this, you can now compile code from any #WASM-targeting language and run it on MicroPython at near-native speeds!

If a WebAssembly file has the suffix .wasm3, then a-Shell will use the wasm3 engine, otherwise (no suffix or .wasm suffix) it will use Apple's engine. The biggest change is with the xz command: xz.wasm3 is 10x faster.
Yeah, it might not look like much, but it opens a Pandora's box of possibilities by integrating the standard #MicroPython tools (written in #Python3) into ViperIDE.
🐍 It works by running those tools directly in the browser, within a MicroPython VM powered by #WebAssembly.
Wasm3 may be 10x slower than JIT-enabled engines, but its tiny cold start time overturns many short synthetic tests. In IO-bound tasks, Wasm3 outperforms almost everything. The larger the Wasm file, the bigger the advantage!
I really wanted to know which libraries are bloating my WebAssembly binaries, so I wrote a visualizer.
Throw in a .wasm file with DWARF debug symbols, and wasmphobia will generate a flame graph for you, breaking down the module by source file.

Ok, so here #Wasm3 compiles itself (using #Clang compiled to #WebAssembly), and executes another #WASI app in self-hosting mode. 😁
Execution time includes the build time, obviously!
Yet another article doubts Wasm3 performance. But then... 😎
Other than that, it's a really great effort. In-place interpreters have HUGE benefits. Recommend.👍

Bytecode Alliance now has an official special interest group (SIG) to basically recreate AssemblyScript. Not only that, their initial experiment copies entire files from AS, with licensing headers removed. Impressive.
Just saw @wasm3_engine. WASM on arduino!?
Further proof that @garybernhardt is a time traveller that got stuck in our time. He gave the talk, "The Birth and Death of JavaScript", to speed up the timeline because he couldn't wait all the way until 2035.
