You may be surprised by how much WASIX is being adopted by the ecosystem! Aiming it to be full POSIX compliant has proven incredibly powerful, as there's no need for waiting for other entities to reinvent what already works in the POSIX (macOS, Linux, ...) :)

I'm not discounting WASIX or what you guys are doing I'd love to just use wasm today for everything instead of waiting, I started this project by trying to use WASIX, I just found it quite difficult to actually develop for as many of the essential rust crates, seemed reluctant to merge your changes, and having to use dependency versions from a year ago with patches is very frustrating.
