Package Management for Wasm Components - Daniel Macovei, JAF Labs
The availability of a package manager is a pivotal milestone for any development ecosystem, often having an exponential impact on usage. Because WebAssembly is a target of so many languages, it is complicated to pass values between Wasm modules that use different memory representations. This talk demonstrates a workflow for creating and composing packages using the Warg registry and other tools. This process will illuminate the complexity encountered when resolving dependencies using Core Wasm alone and show how the Component Model instructions make this easy. The talk will end by highlighting ways to contribute as well as leverage the tools described to support and integrate the Component Model into more languages.
