WebAssembly is not Just for the Web
summary
Claims that WebAssembly runs everywhere to enable cross‑language plugins and foreign libraries, demonstrated by embedding the Wasmtime runtime with Java bindings inside a Minecraft mod that turns Wasm outputs into redstone. Builds include a hand‑written Wasm add function, string marshaling via module memory and host Wasi helpers, cross‑module calls between Rust and Go, and an image decryption using Go crypto compiled with TinyGo. All demos execute successfully — the decrypt and Minecraft gates both work.
