This drops the text format (%.wat) and renames InstantiateModuleFromCode to InstantiateModuleFromBinary as it is no longer ambiguous. We decided to stop supporting the text format as it isn't typically used in production, yet costs a lot of work to develop. Given the resources available and the increased work added with WebAssembly 2.0 and soon WASI 2, we can't afford to spend the time on it. The old parser is used only internally and will eventually be moved to its own repository named watzero, possibly towards archival. See #59 Signed-off-by: Adrian Cole <adrian@tetrate.io>
VS
This directory contains tests which compare against other runtimes. As all known alternatives use CGO, this contains its own go.mod, as otherwise project dependencies are tainted and multi-platform tests more difficult to manage.
Examples of portability issues besides CGO
- Wasmtime can only be used in amd64
- Wasmer doesn't link on Windows
