yurydelendik opened PR #1275 from embed-c-doc to master:

This is a simple example, taken for wasm-c-api, that explains step-by-step how to embed wasmtime via C API. Provided simple bash steps using Clang for Linux too. Maybe it is temporary solution by better than "... more coming soon" at this moment.

Nit: When we refer to Wasmtime and we're not talking about the crate name or CLI binary name, we capitalize Wasmtime.

Is there a way we can avoid embedding the version number here? Otherwise, we'll have to remember to keep this up to date as we publish new versions.

We should mention the own macro for people not familiar with the convention. Maybe "own is a macro that doesn't actually do anything, but helps document which pointers "own" the resources associated with the objects they point to" or so.

"By the host" makes it a little unclear who's actually providing it. Wording suggestion: "The WebAssembly module has an import, "hello", which we'll provide for it though the embedding API.

FWIW I'd recommend just not using it entirely in the introductory documentation. It feels like an unnecessary speed bump that otherwise can be explained later.

I think it might be best to inline all the code here in this document rather than linking externally, because this external link could change or otherwise go away.

Could this explain that internally a wasm_byte_vec_t is just a pointer/length?

I think it might be good to detail what's necessary for Linux/macOS/Windows since they're all pretty similar and would be good to have intro docs for developers on these platforms.

Additionally could dynamic linking be covered as well?

My style may be somewhat different but I personally prefer code listings where everything is presented as one copy-pastable block rather than multiple snippets with explanations inbetween. The explanations can always be through comments as well in the code, and I think it's best to have compiling and working examples in the documentation wherever we can.
