* Reactor support. This implements the new WASI ABI described here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/blob/master/design/application-abi.md It adds APIs to `Instance` and `Linker` with support for running WASI programs, and also simplifies the process of instantiating WASI API modules. This currently only includes Rust API support. * Add comments and fix a typo in a comment. * Fix a rustdoc warning. * Tidy an unneeded `mut`. * Factor out instance initialization with `NewInstance`. This also separates instantiation from initialization in a manner similar to https://github.com/bytecodealliance/lucet/pull/506. * Update fuzzing oracles for the API changes. * Remove `wasi_linker` and clarify that Commands/Reactors aren't connected to WASI. * Move Command/Reactor semantics into the Linker. * C API support. * Fix fuzzer build. * Update usage syntax from "::" to "=". * Remove `NewInstance` and `start()`. * Elaborate on Commands and Reactors and add a spec link. * Add more comments. * Fix wat syntax. * Fix wat. * Use the `Debug` formatter to format an anyhow::Error. * Fix wat.

Installation
The Wasmtime CLI can be installed on Linux and macOS with a small install script:
$ curl https://wasmtime.dev/install.sh -sSf | bash
Windows or otherwise interested users can download installers and binaries directly from the GitHub Releases page.
Example
If you've got the Rust compiler installed then you can take some Rust source code:
fn main() {
println!("Hello, world!");
}
and compile/run it with:
$ rustup target add wasm32-wasi
$ rustc hello.rs --target wasm32-wasi
$ wasmtime hello.wasm
Hello, world!
Features
-
Lightweight. Wasmtime is a standalone runtime for WebAssembly that scales with your needs. It fits on tiny chips as well as makes use of huge servers. Wasmtime can be embedded into almost any application too.
-
Fast. Wasmtime is built on the optimizing Cranelift code generator to quickly generate high-quality machine code at runtime.
-
Configurable. Whether you need to precompile your wasm ahead of time, generate code blazingly fast with Lightbeam, or interpret it at runtime, Wasmtime has you covered for all your wasm-executing needs.
-
WASI. Wasmtime supports a rich set of APIs for interacting with the host environment through the WASI standard.
-
Standards Compliant. Wasmtime passes the official WebAssembly test suite, implements the official C API of wasm, and implements future proposals to WebAssembly as well. Wasmtime developers are intimately engaged with the WebAssembly standards process all along the way too.
Language Support
You can use Wasmtime from a variety of different languages through embeddings of the implementation:
- Rust - the
wasmtimecrate - C - the
wasm.h,wasi.h, andwasmtime.hheaders - Python - the
wasmtimePyPI package - .NET - the
WasmtimeNuGet package - Go - the wasmtime-go repository
