If you've heard of Truffle or Graal you probably know that it can run as a JIT or produce a standalone executable, but there's actually so many more configurations it can run in - it's a true universal runtime system.

I wish Graal target wasm platform

chrisseaton7• 4 years ago

It has an LLVM IR backend, which you can then translate to WASM. Not sure if I've seen any examples of anyone doing this though.

Does it?

I know it supports executing LLVM IR - but that's not the same as a target platform.

Sorry, seems that you're right:

There is wasm support already. https://www.graalvm.org/22.1/reference-manual/wasm/

That's a Wasm interpreter for the GraalVM. I believe the OP is looking for Graal to generate Wasm instructions rather than x86_64 or AArch64 code.

Graal is a runtime, what would that help?

There are already enough of WASM runtimes, Graal itself, as others pointed out.

what would that help?

For example to let you run Java code in a browser.
