The State of WebAssembly 2022 survey of Wasm developers shows Rust on top, with Blazor and Python on the rise.
WebAssembly has gone through quite a transformation this last year, while the wasm language landscape is slowly shifting, the more notable change is in what people are using WebAssembly for. The use of wasm for serverless, containerisation and as a plug-in technology has leapt considerably, with WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) becoming ever more important.
With version 2.3, Wasmer compiles to Wasm and introduces a stack switcher to run Wasm code in a separate stack from the host stack.
Ruby 3.2.0 preview adds WebAssembly System Interface support, allowing the CRuby binary to run in web browsers and other WASI embedders.
Lin Clark walks through what WASI means and shares examples of opportunities that could be unlocked.
