Lapce – Fast and Powerful Code Editor written in Rust

I think native compiled code is hard for plugin distributions. You'll need to target 3 main platforms Linux/macOS/Windows. You can use github actions to do it, but it would be so easier to just compile to WASI and that's it.

Also, WASI is compelling to me because of the potential of writing plugins in different programming languages.

I think this is the future really, I've been pining for this to become a thing for so long.

I think WASI is an excellent idea. Do you know how the ABI works?

multiply that with the CPU ISA, like arm, x86 (and more if you are inclined to support power, sparc, ...)
