On: WASI 0.2.0 and Why It Matters

[dom96]

Thanks for sharing. I often wondered why we didn’t just create a subset of POSIX for the web and wasm, this seems to answer my questions.

Other team ask themselves that question and created WASIX. I'm looking into it.

Because to me it seems only logical, to have POSIX that can work on the web.

This is about WASI and WASI is outside the web browser.

WASI Co-chair here: WASI is for the Web as well as beyond. The jco project (https://github.com/BytecodeAlliance/jco) provides an implementation of the Component Model and WASI Preview 2 for JavaScript systems. Right now, node.js support is complete, but support for Web embeddings is in progress and coming soon.
