Oh, and though WIT can be in-your-face in these tutorials (as we try to leave a good offramp for folks to customize beyond the quickstart) WIT shouldn’t be necessary for most commo…

To start with a bit of project history, we love Wasmtime and that’s our core runtime of choice! Before wasmCloud 1.0, e.g. from 2019-2023, we only used Wasm modules with our own cu…

First off, thank you for the thoughtful feedback here, it’s great to hear you’ve found the docs useful! I’ve read through your feedback and captured issues in our issue tracker for…
