https://github.com/tessi/wasmex/ can execute WASM from elixir. It’s a NIF wrapper around the wasmer.io engine. I know of at least two projects already using it in production and would be interested in your thoughts :slight_smile:

So we are in late 2022… what’s the status of Elixir/Webassembly? Is there something consistent, mature, standardized to enable coding Elixir in the browser? I mean without going through Rust, Go etc.

Seems that Lumen rebranded into Firefly and offers a WASM runtime (don’t know how complete it is): GitHub - GetFirefly/firefly: An alternative BEAM implementation, designed for WebAssembly

I’m aware of Firefly. It’s just a work in progress. Not production ready yet.
