Use case to cover: Bundling of WASM in Node.js
by Vít Ondruch
Hi,
I have just joined the ML and I'll be probably mainly observing.
But I think that there is one major use case which is missing in the
wiki page and that is the issue with bundled WASM code in Node.js. While
having compiler ready is certainly precondition, I think that the
bundling in Node.js should not be forgotten.

Minutes from meeting 23 Jan 2023
by Michael Dawson
These are the minutes from the meeting today. I've taken some of what was
discussed in the meeting today and added to the Wiki page under the
existing work initiatives, but I'm hoping each of the Sig members can
update to better capture the specifics of the work/what is already in
place. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/WASM#Existing_Work/Initiatives
Agenda
- Intros
- Communication channels
- Mailing list
- Slack/IRC/etc ?
- Pagure/Wiki
- Capturing existing work/initiatives
- Known Gap
Minutes
- Intros
-
Zuzana - Node.js is using WASM so need to find out what else is
using/needed WASM in Fedora/RHEL
-
Michael - On the runtimes Node.js team, initial interest based on
Node.js use of WASM as well.
-
Milad - Node.js with a focus on keeping V8 going
-
Ivan - in CTO office at Red Hat leading WASM effort
-
Jan - Work in same team as Jan, similar interest
-
Richard - In upstream Node.js project, if there are updates needed in
Node.js upstream then may be involved in that.
- Communication channels
- Mailing list
- asked everybody to join new mailing list
- Slack/IRC/etc ?
- Jan, for more complex topics good to keep to mailing list
- Zuzana, good for smaller more one-on-one discussions
- Jan, traditional way to do that is irc, centos discussions are
mostly IRC
- agreement to stick to IRC
- - Pagure/Wiki
- Wiki is at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/WASM
- Pagure, idea was somewhere we could get notifications about bugs
- Maybe use something like Trello ?
- Ivan, does seem like some other Sigs use a project in Pagure
and just use for issues.
- https://pagure.io/ContainerSIG/container-sig (lead is from RH
we can reach out to ask about best practice) - Michael
will reach out to
owner to ask about their best practice in terms of managing issue
- https://pagure.io/cloud-sig (lead is also from RH) is a nice
example where top level is the main repo
- Ivan will also ask around a bit to see what he can learn
- Capturing existing work/initiatives
- Jan, working on wasi-libc (Needed to support WASI)
- https://gitlab.com/khx/fedora/wasi-libc, fork of upstream with
some Fedora specific mods. Approach of have a set of commits
that float on
top of upstream. Not sure if we’ll prefer that or regular
repo. Have not
had time for last few months.
- Can compile it
- Can point clang to it
- Not sure if it is in line with any Fedora guidelines etc.
- RH/Fedora devtools team has WASM support in clang for emitting
WASM from C in RHEL 8.
- would be good to capture what specifically has been made to
support etc.
- Rust support ?
- Ruby ?
- WASM Edge already supported in Fedora (x86, arm)
- Ivan working on getting WASM Time to get it support in Fedora (x86,
arm and s390x)
- crun with WASM Edge in Fedora
-
Important uses cases
-
Compile language from X to WASM with support for WASI
-
C ( Needed by Node.js)
-
Rust
-
possibly Ruby ?
-
Run WebAssembly within a runtime
-
Node.js (supported through V8)
-
Ruby, python etc ?
-
Compile interpreter to WASM to run in browser
-
Out of scope
-
Running WASM containers
-
What needed for use cases we want to cover to start:
-
Compile language from X to WASM with support for WASI
-
compiler support (clang)
-
wasi-libc
-
Run WebAssembly within a runtime
-
Same components as “Compile language from X to WASM with support
for WASI”
-
WASM engine (V8, wasm-edge, …), Garbage collection is often a
challenge

Welcome to WASM SIG!
by Zuzana Svetlikova
Hi everyone!
Welcome to WASM SIG!
I believe we all realize this is still largely a WIP and a lot of things
need to be resolved and your input is greatly appreciated.
What I think the next steps should be:
1.) Agreeing on a communication channel, ie
IRC/Matrix/Telegram/Slack/whatever
2.) Improve the Wiki <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/WASM>, ideally
I'd like to see you listed there, also mentioning involved projects (ie
Rust, Node.js etc) might be useful.
3.) Find out what's the current state of WASM in Fedora and what we would
like it to be.
4.) Do we need a group for better package/bug tracking?
One more reminder that there will be a kick-off meeting on Mon Jan 23 at
4pm UTC (9am Pacific, 11am ET, 5pm CET).
The link is meet.google.com/vch-jjne-vqt
If you can't or don't want to attend, you can still propose agenda to be
discussed.
Thank you
Have a nice weekend
