Hi, this announcement:

https://wasmer.io/posts/clang-in-browser

talks about a major revolutionary technological advance, what will be the consequences of this major technological progress on the extenson ?

" Running Clang in the browser using WebAssembly Discover how to compile C programs directly from JavaScript or any browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), and explore the powerful capabilities of the Wasmer JS SDK What’s coming next We are incredibly excited for this milestone, as it opens the door for many upcoming features that we are going to need in Wasmer and Wasmer Edge: Compiling native Python libraries directly from within WASIX. Imagine being able to have PIP compiling things in Wasm upon install, e.g.: wasmer run py thon --entrypoint pip -- install numpy # This compiles numpy to WASIX, all within Wasmer processes Using py2wasm with a bundled compiler Compiling Static Hermes to WASIX, so we can generate native Wasm files from JS.

New tooling? (any project depending on LLVM can now be easily compiled to WebAssembly!) This is the beginning of an awesome journey, we can't wait to see what you create next with this.
