Wasm Backends support in Wasmer - cast your vote!

[syrusakbary]

We recently improved our codebase to add support for more Wasm backends/runtimes (starting with JavascriptCore)

This opens new exciting possibilities as users can now easily switch and compare the best backend suited for their environment.

Hey @everyone, we just launched Wasmer 5.0-rc1 with support for V8, WASMI and WAMR via the wasm_c_api.

Feel free to try it out with:

curl https://get.wasmer.io -sSfL | sh -s "v5.0.0-rc.1"

Also, specific v8, wasmi and wamr releases can be found on the release page:

Stay tuned for the upcoming 5.0 announcement

@syrusakbary, could you please share an example of how to use it with v8? Does this mean it will support GC and EH when run with v8?

[syrusakbary]

Hey @bashor, yes GC and EH will be supported in Wasmer thanks to V8 integration. You just need to use the v8 feature when using the wasmer crate

[bashor]

@syrusakbary is it possible to use v8 from CLI?
