Wasmer Released 1.0 — a WebAssembly (Wasm) runtime written in Rust. Wasm automatically places applications in a sandbox for secure execution, protecting the host from errors and vulnerabilities. It also provides a cost-effective runtime environment, allowing Wasmer containers to run where Docker containers are too bulky.
Release Features:
- Parallel compilation has significantly reduced compilation times for programs.
- Compilers available: Singlepass (focused on compilation speed), Cranelift, LLVM (focused on code optimization).
- The emergence of cross-compilation, allowing Wasm to be compiled for aarch64 architecture from an x86_64 machine and vice versa.
- Support for Apple Silicon.
