Question: Any plans for a WASI version?

[Matt Butcher]

Are there any plans to make an outside-the-browser Wasm32-WASI version of WebPerl? e.g. one that can be run with Wasmtime? This project is so cool!

Thanks and sorry for the late reply. WebPerl already runs in node.js, and one thing that's been on my wishlist for a long time now is to make webperl.js more general so that it runs in more places, like WebWorkers, and if and when I make that change I would hope to target other environments too, and Wasmtime could be a possibility. Unfortunately, my time to work on WebPerl has become quite limited, so I currently have no idea on a timeline.

Thanks for the update. We'll keep an eye out, but won't expect anything soon. Appreciate it!
