    In the computer. Straight up ‘virtualising it’. And by it, let’s just say. My pingus.

    Literally have a dozen other tabs open about how to embed a WASM engine into my Rust game. At least I’m not (currently, at this time, right now) writing my own language or trying to embed a prolog engine.

        Ooh, I’d been looking at wasmer but wasmtime looks easier and more appropriate. Thanks for the suggestion!

        Also wow, a D programmer in the wild! I used to really like that language before I got into Rust (my beloved).

    In the middle of developing my own high-level binding for wasmtime in D, I had the thought of repurposing all that XML lexer thing into JIT compiling Lua (which was my first candidate for a scripting engine, until it became apparent how much the community views integers as a “red haired stepchild”), but instead I wrote yet another SDLang implementation, this time with a simple but proper DOM (not as overcomplicated as the standard XML DOM, but supports comments).

      real answer: dead project, too ambitious yet redundant with existing solutions.

      In this context, a VM is like NodeJS or JVM.

        I’m still confused about the context. I’m assuming “VM” doesn’t mean “virtual machine” in this case? Or maybe it does with a different meaning?

        Idk im just an IT guy, not a web developer

          Yes, it means “virtual machine”, but not the kind you’re thinking of.

          This isn’t like VMware Workstation, this is more like the Java VM or the Dalvik VM, it’s a virtual execution environment for a specific purpose.
