Exciting news!

Question to @syrusakbary - When is wasmer support in Windows likely to reach beta status? Would mingw-64 be a better Windows target than Win32, for porting unix-y wasmer code, especially related to WASI?

Thank You


I have good news! Wasmer has already reached beta status in Windows. WASI is already supported there as well (Emscripten still needs some love, but we are working on it)

With this release we also added support for the LLVM backend in Windows, so you can also run WebAssembly-SIMD programs in Windows!

Regarding mingw-64 being a better target than Win32 for porting unix-y programs into WebAssembly that's probably right since the POSIX gap is smaller.


That's great news! Thank you to the entire wasmer team for this awesome software.
