<p>Hello all! As some of you might be aware, there has been a lot of progress in the web-world in developing <a href="https://webassembly.org/" rel="nofollow">WebAssembly</a>. Many environments and languages can now compile to the wasm binary format. Projects are doing things like <a href="https://github.com/iodide-project/pyodide">putting full Python interpreters and environments in the browser</a>, etc. There is even a nascent movement to come up with a consistent <a href="https://hacks.mozilla.org/2019/03/standardizing-wasi-a-webassembly-system-interface/" rel="nofollow">system interface standard</a> for WebAssembly, allowing developers to run wasm code on any platform -- not just the web.</p>
<p>My question is this: what would it take to get the opensmalltalk-vm to compile to WebAssembly and has anyone involved with it considered the option so far?</p>
<p>There would be a great many advantages to running a Smalltalk in the browser this way.</p>
