Hi HN! Syrus here, from the Wasmer team.

We have been working hard on this release that adds support for ARM64 and Apple M1 chipsets in Singlepass (our compiler, mostly used in Web3/Blockchain environments). In Wasmer we aim to make software universally available (regardless programming languages, operating systems or chipset used), by leveraging on WebAssembly.

Let me know if you have any questions, I'd be very happy to answer them!

I see "an unexpected error has occured" on mobile chrome milliseconds after the article content renders (and is then hidden)

This is across the entire site.

Thanks for the heads up... looking into it!

EDIT: I did tested in Safari and Chrome (iOS) and things are working properly there. Do you have JS enabled? Could you provide more details that will help reproducing the issue? Thanks!

Hi

I've got excited about WebAssembly and used it with C#'s Blazor

but I feel like it moves incredibly slow, especially things like GC / DOM Access, etc.

It feels like we're getting closer and closer to half of the decade

How do you see it?

I was confused what you could possibly mean by that but then I read the opening paragraph:

> The Wasmer 2.2 release features significant advancements shaping up to impact our Web3 and blockchain community in a big way. Wasmer is reintroducing Aarch64 compatibility for our Singlepass compiler. With the newly overhauled Singlepass, Web3 and blockchain developers can efficiently run Wasmer Runtime with Singepass on Windows, Linux, and macOS. The new release also fully supports the much anticipated Apple M1 processor.

And since the rest of the post doesn't mention anything more, I share your curiosity.

WASM is a technology that has good security and isolation. So some people try to use it as underlying technology for smart contracts.

So the reality is, its just and WASM and lots of people trying to build stuff on WASM.

I think WebAssembly is going to play a key role in Universal Computing. In my impression, the pace for moving some Wasm specs forward could be improved, but there are big players that need to be aligned and that has a cost.

On the other hand, the ecosystem is really picking up a good pace and there are new players and tools being launched everyday. I'm personally very excited to know where we are heading as a community!
