Hi Sam!
Really great article, and really long.
Thanks for that!
Now I see that wasm isn't silver bullet.
But anyway looks promising.
Are there already other runtimes?

I'm not sure of any other runtimes for compiling C/C++ to WASM, no, sorry. The complaints I have are repeated on the bug tracker (possibly in more places too).

So I suspect there might some community projects because of the issues I'm raising. Let me know if you find any!

(Of course, there's also runtimes/compilers for Go, Rust, etc—I've not researched them enormously. I believe Go is much nicer to work with because its JS boilerplate is just a common bit of code you include, it's not built per-binary, which means it's much, much easier to understand and work with.)
