New blogpost from @wingo about Wastrel: "Wastrelly Wabbits" https://wingolog.org/archives/2026/03/31/wastrelly-wabbits

So you very likely haven't heard about Wastrel BUT YOU SHOULD because it's pretty cool! Wastrel takes WASM binaries and compiles them directly to C!

And here you'd think that was WASM 1 type binaries, the linear memory style things Rust and emscripten etc can spit out.

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, it can also compile things with WASM-GC! Because it can use @wingo's Whippet garbage collector and pull that in

WHICH MEANS since you can compile Hoot programs to WASM-GC we finally are approaching a path where you can compile a Guile Scheme program directly to a native binary, no intermediate Guile VM!

Wild right?
