Author of wasmex[1] here (an elixir package which allows runnung WASM).
Next to the mentioned wasmtime, wasm3, and wamr, there is also wasmer[2] I would add to the list of capable WASM runtimes.
The great things these runtimes offer are how easy they are to integrate into other programming languages environments. E.g. with wasmex you could easily run WASM from your elixir application (or with wasmer from ruby[3] or many other languages if you want).
Imagine building shopify, but without needing to invent your own template language for customers to extend their shop-template[4]. They could provide a WASM extension API where shop-owners could let sandboxed WASM files render their shop. This would let allow shop-owners to write templates in their favorite language instead of e.g. liquid and still be secure.
