Protobuf API

[gedw99]

See https://waxosuit.io/

Basically I want a standard protobuf interface for anything I write to run inside a WASI / Wasm runtime.

Waxosuit has done a great job on it. Its following the Mozilla specs too

Without a standard reusable cross language approach it's terrible to write and support WASI.

Protobuf is practically a standard.

hey @gedw99 - Waxosuit's author here. 👋

Just trying to clarify what exactly you're looking to do. WASI is a low-level standard that converts syscalls / libc invocations into Wasm imports, so that stuff is far below the level of protocol buffers.

I have some stuff simmering that will hopefully extract some of the "RPC over Wasm" code that Waxosuit uses into something that's a little more generic. Is that what you're looking to do?

There are a bunch of protobuf and RPC libraries that should be portable to WASI.

@gedw99 could you clarify what the exact problem is that wasmer needs to address or close this issue?

Hey

I started to use suborbital.

basically I am wanting to host wasm from users ( they they compiled and uploaded into the systemi ) in my servers and in my golang clients .

A good analogy is caddy . It is a proxy to run and expose other binaries . Well I want to do the same thing for wasm .

Does the analogy work for you ?
