Mobile compatible wasmer engine #4432

Open abe-njama opened 7 months ago

abe-njama commented 7 months ago

Thanks for proposing a new feature!

Motivation

Holochain is currently working on a long-term project to run Holochain on Mobile devices and during our initial phase of development and discovery, we ran into Interpreted wasm issues related to iOS. While wasmer supports JavascriptCore, Apple has dropped support for webassembly and will not be bringing it back.

Proposed solution

Either

  1. Holochain could help Wasmer implement an interpreter backend or,
  2. Holochain could help Wasmer implement a bridge to WKWebView

Alternatives

Holochain could re-add wasmi as a possible wasm engine behind a feature flag. Based on the poll, potential support for Wasmi seems to be ranking low. Although this could also be considered based on the evaluation of any model that Wasmer may propose to support Wasmi for the long-term.

Additional context

Looking at points 2 and 3, does Wasmer have a model that allows open source projects, like Holochain, to benefit from the support of the Wasmer maintainers and community of Contributors to implement such specific requests?

Adding support for an interpreter toolchain is probably the lowest hanging fruit.

Feel free to schedule a call in https://cal.com/syrus so we can organize further
