06/30/2023, 12:35 PMThe WASI support will be based on preview1, right? Or will you work on supporting the component model as well?

07/01/2023, 12:17 AM@bashor Can we expect a Kotlin backend application compiled to WASI to be as performant (and small in size) as a Golang binary? That might convince me to switch to Kotlin even for backend applications

07/03/2023, 11:45 AM@Daniele B It’s hard to say in general, it also depends on workloads.

07/03/2023, 11:46 AM@Daniele B do you mean stabdalonr golang binary or golang compiled to wasm?

07/03/2023, 11:48 AM@bashor I am referring to standalone golang binaries

07/03/2023, 11:51 AMWhat characterize Golang binaries (w.r.t. JVM) is mostly:
• They are small in size
• They start up very quickly
• They have a very small memory footprint
