Thank you, that's a good summary of the article!

Even faster startup times can be achieved by so-called in-place interpreters that do not even translate the Wasm binary at all and instead directly execute it without adjustments. Obviously this is slower at execution compared to re-writing interpreters.

Examples for Wasm in-place interpreters are toywasm (https://github.com/yamt/toywasm) or WAMR's classic interpreter.

There is also this (https://github.com/mbbill/Silverfir) and Wizard (https://github.com/titzer/wizard-engine).

I wrote a paper about Wizard's in-place interpreter and benchmarked lots of runtimes in (https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3563311).

As there seem to be even more runtimes popping up (great job with wasmi, btw), it seems like a fun, maybe even full-time, job to keep up with them all.

Also great job on Wizard btw! Your article about Wizard was a really interesting read to me.

The abundance of Wasm runtimes is a testimony of how great the WebAssembly standard really is!
