This is an ad. Just use WASI.

Most forums were awful phpbb nonsense where it was impossible to find the information you wanted. Search always required logging in and the only interface for very long threads was paging through them 10 badly laid out posts at a time. No thank you. Of course modern forums are better. Disqus is ok, and D's forum software is arguably the best thing to come out of the D project. In any case Discord is not a replacement…
None of the phpBB-like forums that I am aware of (phpBB, SMF, vbulletin) require login to search.
I haven't run into it recently, but I have at least vague memories of it happening in the past.
The thing I want to achieve with WebAssembly is still proving a lot harder than I had anticipated. I want to be able to take strings of untrusted code provided by users and execute them in a safe sandbox. I have all sorts of things I want this for - think custom templates for a web application, custom workflow automation scripts (Zapier-style), running transformations against JSON data. When you're dealing with untru…
Another open Source project locking their community discussions away on Discord where it can't be easily discovered or searched. At least consider mirroring to the web - or at this stage inform people you will one day make posts available on the open web. Acquiring that consent afterwards is painful.
I prefer to read documentation via Minecraft chat. That way I can craft a diamond pickaxe to smash my head in.

Isn't this the entire pitch of the browser as an app platform rather than a document viewer? Why target it if it's not sandboxed?

Thanks. I'm not sure how this maps to the original example, though. This is about compiling a standalone program which translates POSIX apis, it seems? How about calling it from Rust with string args etc?
Exactly. That's what Extism is trying to solve. That WASI post doesn't show at all how to use the WASM code from C, or vice versa, because it just compiles the entire C program to WASM which uses the POSIX-based WASI API. If you want an alternative to Extism, you need something like wasmer.io, not just wasmtime (Extism actually uses wasmtime as mentioned in the post).

"Just" use WASI is not useful advice. I've been trying to do that for my own purposes for over a year. The learning curve on that (as a Python programmer who wants to use WebAssembly for sandboxing) is practically a vertical wall.
