Check out a sample server using wasi-http built with our early #WebAssembly Component Model support in @Kotlin! 🤩

Still early, but very satisfying to see it working ✨

Give it a spin and share what you build 🚀

When I use cargo component new to build a CLI component for Rust/Wasm/Wit, the cargo component build step will automatically translate a main function to .e.g. wasi:cli/run or println! statements to the according stream functions from the wasi world. With wasm-tools component wit I can even inspect a generated with world, though none was supplied. I would llike to know more about the magic involved. Is that documented somewhere, is this something carfgo component does, or is it coming from wit-bindgen? Any help or pointers appreciated.

As a complete aside: over the last few months, I've put together a little workbench repo to get myself conversant with the Wasm component model.

https://github.com/dylibso/component-workbench

It consists of a series of ".wat" files, some of which include an associated runner. Each file attempts to isolate one bit of syntax, building up to late-bound host functions.

These files are intended for people to read and edit – change stuff and see what happens!

Last month in Wasm - Python

Brett Cannon (@brettcannon) from Microsoft has added a build script for building Python for WASI.

Joel Dice from Fermyon and Peter Huene (@peterhuene) from Fastly have updated Componentize-Py from Wasmtime 13 up to 15 and are planning to be ready for Wasmtime 16 on release.

Last month in Wasm - JavaScript

Guy Bedford (@guybedford) from Fastly spoke at NodeConf EU last month talking about WebAssembly Components and JavaScript.

JCO now passes 86 of the 97 test programs from Wasmtime and expects to pass all of them by end of year.

so, a few #wasm #componentmodel questions as I’ve started digging into this:

1. As a provider of host functions that are intended to “mix into” other worlds, should I prefer to export interfaces that can be imported separately or a world that can included wholesale?

2. re cargo-component: what is the difference between “package.metadata.component.dependencies” and “package.metadata.component. target.dependencies”?
