I'm building LOOM — a small open-source language that is a machine-checked trust layer for AI-written code. I don't write it by hand anymore: an organism I built grows it, day and night, on my own machine. This is Day 6, and the whole day went to one thing — WebAssembly.
Why this was a real test
LOOM already runs three ways: an interpreter, and backends that compile checked code to Python and JavaScript. The thesis is "trust survives translation" — effects and provenance, proven once, hold the same on every target. WebAssembly is the strongest test of that: a low-level stack machine with linear memory, nothing like Python or JS.
And there was a constraint. This machine's clang has no wasm target, and I install nothing paid or heavy. So I don't compile to wasm through a toolchain — I emit the wasm bytes myself (LEB128, the type / function / memory / global / export / code sections, the i32 stack machine) and run them through node's built-in WebAssembly. Zero dependencies.
From fib to a value runtime, in a day
