wain
A WebAssembly interpreter written from scratch in safe Rust with zero dependencies.
What is wain?
wain is a WebAssembly interpreter implemented entirely in safe Rust, adhering to the official WebAssembly specification. It is built as a modular set of libraries for parsing, validating, and executing WebAssembly modules, emphasizing safety and dependency-free design. The project aims to provide a clean, educational implementation that enables deep understanding of the WebAssembly specification while maintaining practical efficiency.
Rust developers and educators who need a safe, dependency-free WebAssembly interpreter for learning, testing, or embedding in Rust projects. It is also suitable for developers prioritizing memory safety and modular architecture in their WebAssembly tooling.
Developers choose wain for its guarantee of memory safety through the exclusive use of safe Rust code and its zero external runtime dependencies, which reduces binary size and eliminates unsafe external code. Its modular architecture allows for reusable components in parsing, validation, and execution, offering flexibility for integration and customization.
