Exploring C# Wasm Components

on YouTube ↗37m

" summary

Shows C# producing real Wasm components that interoperate with others using standard .NET tooling and generated bindings, not hand‑rolled glue code. Uses wit-bindgen to lift and lower complex WIT types, composes binaries with wack, and automates the workflow with componentize.net. Demonstrations include a native AOT adder composed into a host that returns 42 and an HTTP component serving "hello from C", plus OCI WIT retrieval, async plumbing, and ongoing debug support.
