> As far as I know, today, Rust is the only programming language (other than C) able to create efficient WebAssembly (wasm) libraries

Zig is also a good option for that, but the language is still in development.

Regarding Zig, note that the author writes "starting a new project in a memory unsafe language in 2023 is foolish as demonstrated by the endless flow of vulnerabilities."

Yes but that's a silly argument for most software, which will never see adversarial contact.

Maybe once Zig supports WASIX

[meepmorp]

No, let's actually have a standard with some thoughtful design instead of just bunging a bunch of ancient POSIXisms along into another platform. Also, as far as I can tell, it's being pushed exclusively by Wasmer which looks to be a bit shady as a company.

Wasmer attempted to do this in the Ziglang repo barely 4 days ago:

I’m pretty sure that’s what the parent is referring to :)

wasm is enough to do fancy things in the browser, games for example, with Rust or Zig. WASIX is not necessary for this.
