A js interpreter in WebAssembly (wasm)

Raw

Playground

Install wazero with the following commmand.

go get github.com/tetratelabs/wazero@latest

Download the wasm file of a Javascript interpreter. For simplicity, the following ways are listed.
- If you have wapm installed, you could download one with
```
wapm install mozilla/spidermonkey
```
- If you don't want to depend on another package manager like wapm, you could download one such artificact using a direct url. This file contains the mapping of versions to urls. Pick one, and save it to somewhere like /tmp.
Run the wasm module.
```
wazero run /tmp/js.wasm
```
Now you're in the javascript repl. If you want command line navigation, rlwrap is handy.
```
rlwrap wazero run /tmp/js.wasm
```
Compile the wasm module to native.
```
wazero compile /tmp/js.wasm
```
