More parity with other languages #47

Closed sandstrom closed 3 years ago

sandstrom commented 3 years ago

It seems like the ruby sdk/client is still a bit behind the other languages. Would be awesome if more functionality was supported, for example terminate in host call, serialization and exposing host (imported) functions.

For our use case, we'd like to pass in a bunch of data from the host (e.g. JSON like data), pass in a bunch of functions, accessible to the WASM-code, and then call the function exposed by WASM (with ability to abort/terminate from host).

Yup, it's in my agenda to rewrite this extension as it's been done for Python, Go and PHP!

sandstrom commented 3 years ago

@Hywan Awesome! 😄

The project has been fully rewritten in #48. I'm updating the documentation right now, but if you check #48 you will see the project is now on-par with wasmer-python, wasmer-go, wasmer-php and wasmer itself.

Closing in favor of https://github.com/wasmerio/docs.wasmer.io/pull/119.

Awesome @Hywan !! 🎉

(this is a long question, so I understand if you don't have time to answer)

Shopify published a post a few months ago, about how they're using WASM in a sandbox to evaluate foreign code in their ruby app.

Would you say that wasmer.io is a good alternative tool for something similar to what they describe in that post? (they're using Lucet/Cranelift)
