Developer Take on: WASI 0.3.0 Released
The WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) has been a long-awaited feature for the WebAssembly ecosystem. With its recent release of version 0.3.0, developers are now able to build and deploy their WebAssembly applications more efficiently and securely. In this article, we'll take a deep dive into the changes and improvements that come with the new release, and explore the impact it has on building WebAssembly applications for the edge, IoT, and serverless environments.
What is WASI?
WASI is a binary interface specification for WebAssembly that provides a standardized way for WebAssembly modules to communicate with the outside world. It was initially designed to run WebAssembly applications in a web browser sandboxed environment, but its uses have expanded to include serverless, IoT, and edge computing environments. WASI abstracts away the underlying operating system's details, providing a set of APIs that let WebAssembly modules call into the host system's libraries and system calls without the need for any language-specific bindings.
