Instantiating a runtime in microseconds is deeply exciting!
Though after skimming through the docs, I'm still left wondering a few things:
- JS is notably missing from the list of languages supported on the front page. But I see mentions of a Spidermonkey.wasm in the blog post. Is running JS on top of wasmtime in production a realistic prospect today? If so, where can I read more? (mainly interested in this for the instantiation time benefits, though maybe all/most of that will be negated by the embedded JS engine?)
- How should I go about building a typical web service on top of wasmtime? Can wasmtime itself handle network requests/connections or would I need to build the web server in some other host language and pass request data to wasmtime modules? Haven't been able to find anything in the docs about this.
- What would it take to build a multitenant web service where customer code is isolated using wasmtime, like the one like described in the post?
