Aaron Turon (Jul 09 2020 at 22:16): Aaron Turon (Jul 09 2020 at 22:16):FYI: Fastly is exploring a move toward using Wasmtime, rather than Lucet, in order to consolidate effort around a single runtime (and hence to benefit from all the great work coming down the pike in Wasmtime around things like interface types). To do this, though, we'd need to incorporate a few meaty features from Lucet into Wasmtime.
After discussion with the team at Fastly, I've put together a document laying out what the major issues are. We'd plan to write up RFCs (using the new RFC process!) giving more detailed proposals for each of these pieces, based on what we've done in Lucet. But meanwhile, we want to give a heads-up as to what we're thinking about, and get any very early feedback through Google doc comments.
You can find the overview document here (unfortunately I'm not able to make it world-readable, so request access if needed and I'll grant it!)

Dan Gohman (Jul 09 2020 at 22:30):Hi Aaron, thanks for putting that together!
Aaron Turon (Jul 09 2020 at 23:15):You bet! I meant to talk a bit about it at this morning's meeting but I had to drop out. Lemme know if you have any questions/concerns!
Aaron Turon (Jul 10 2020 at 16:58):@Dan Gohman I'm wondering if it'd be helpful to have a dedicated meeting and try to plan an approach together? (thinking about things like: timing of various pieces of this work, who will do it, how does it interact with other ongoing work like cap-std, what pieces would benefit from RFC work, etc)
Dan Gohman (Jul 10 2020 at 17:00):I think that would all be in scope for our thursday bi-weekly Wasmtime meeting;
Dan Gohman (Jul 10 2020 at 17:00):Would it be good to schedule something sooner than two weeks from yesterday?
Aaron Turon (Jul 10 2020 at 17:23):That sounds good to me!
Aaron Turon (Jul 10 2020 at 17:24):I will just confirm that all the relevant folks on my side can make it
Dan Gohman (Jul 10 2020 at 17:34):Heh, which one is good? ;-)
Dan Gohman (Jul 10 2020 at 17:35):Either waiting or holding a separate meeting works for me.
Aaron Turon (Jul 10 2020 at 17:45):haha, sorry, i meant that just discussing this at the next scheduled wasmtime meeting should be fine. I've confirmed that the relevant folks can make it :+1:
Till Schneidereit (Jul 14 2020 at 09:41):@Aaron Turon thank you for putting this together, much appreciated! And I'm looking forward to talking about it next week
