WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) with Sockets for Go
Go v1.21, scheduled for release in August 2023, adds experimental support for the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI). It'll be possible to natively compile server-side WebAssembly applications with Go, making Go a first-class citizen along with C/C++, Rust and Zig. GOOS=wasip1 GOARCH=wasm go build ... WASI is still in preview and is missing some key features, e.g. the ability to create sockets. Some WebAssembly runtimes have taken the initiative to extend the WASI preview, enabling a wider range of applications to run as WebAssembly modules. Today, we're open sourcing our WASI library…

WASI socket extensions for Go 1.212023 · github.com · ▲6The WASI preview 1 specification was missing socket APIs so some WebAssembly runtimes added extensions to allow applications to do more than basic file I/O. This package enables a large class of Go programs (almost any program doing networking) to run when compiled to WebAssembly using the WASI preview 1 spec. It exposes functions similar to net.Dial and net.Listen that can be used to leverage the socket extensions thanks to the new //go:wasmimport compiler directive. It also has a set of examples of how to use popular Go packages when compiling to GOOS=wasip1. Contributions…

Firefox in WebAssemblyJul 2026 · developer.puter.com · ▲273This is the entire Firefox browser rendering to a element. Gecko, all UI components, and the Spidermonkey JS engine are all compiled and running in WebAssembly. Here are a few things you might find interesting: - This is fully end to end encrypted! We use the WISP protocol for TCP-over-websockets. - There is a novel WASM->JS JIT for experimental site speedup - This port cost over 25k in opus/fable tokens for debugging and JIT research This was just a fun experiment to push the boundaries of WebAssembly. For a more usable "browser in browser" experience, we also built…

Wrote a tiny WebAssembly (wat2wasm) compiler in Go2022 · github.com · ▲75As a personal project I wrote a really tiny Wat 2 Wasm compiler in Go. Mainly for demonstrative and educational purposes. It was tough: I didn't know anything about WebAssembly internals and I'm a newbie with Go... so I tried to document it as much as I could for anyone that would like to approach the quest in the future! It misses a lot of features (that will be gradually implemented). Any feedback is welcomed!! Demo: https://luna-demo.vercel.app

Talanoa▲341Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
