It would be nice to see innovation in the Wasm space rather than copying products that already existed before.

Wasmer already launched the exact same product one year ago (Aug 2022): https://wasmer.io/posts/wasm-as-universal-binary-format-part... (BTW, way more performant than the Hermit copy).

The only thing that Hermit does is using APE (Actually Portable Format), which we also analyzed on the second post of the series: https://wasmer.io/posts/wasm-as-universal-binary-format-part..., also published a year ago.

  On one hand, both ape and Wasmer rely on a “universal binary interface” to interact universally with the Operating System: Cosmopolitan (as a universal libc POSIX interface) in the case of ape, and WASI in the case of Wasmer.

Ah Syrus, good to hear from you as always. You know, people like to have options :)

As far as options go, I typically like to use what works. Some other options just tend to not work well.
