The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
watgo is a new WebAssembly Toolkit for Go that provides tools for parsing, validating, and encoding WebAssembly Text (WAT) into WASM binaries, as well as decoding WASM from binary format. The toolkit includes both a CLI and Go API, features a semantic representation called wasmir for examining and manipulating WebAssembly modules, and is implemented in pure Go with zero dependencies, similar to existing tools like wabt (C++) and wasm-tools (Rust).

· 4 pulledI'm happy to announce the general availability of watgo - the WebAssembly Toolkit for Go.
This project is similar to wabt (C++) or wasm-tools (Rust), but in pure, zero-dependency Go.
watgo comes with a CLI and a Go API to parse WAT (WebAssembly Text), validate it, and encode it into WASM binaries; it also supports decoding WASM from its binary format.
At the center of it all is wasmir - a semantic representation of a WebAssembly module that users can examine (and manipulate).
