WebAssembly Beyond The Browser: Running Wasm In .NET Core Applications With WASI & Wasmtime
When people talk about WebAssembly and .NET Core these days, they immediately think about Blazor WebAssembly. But there is more to it. Actually, Blazor WebAssembly currently does not run our code as a WebAssembly (Wasm) module, but rather runs the .NET CLR (or a Mono version of it) as a Wasm module and our .NET code is run as plain old .NET assemblies on top of it. But there is indeed the need for executing (native) code as WebAssembly modules in the browser, and in .NET Core applications as well. In this article, I show how you can achieve running Wasm code in .NET Core, with a most likely future-proof approach.
