actix-web + webassembly

[icommit]

Are there any plans to support Webassembly? I recently tried to compile a webassembly and actix-web demo but it seems the net2 crate which is a dependent crate in tokio is generating lots of errors. But Webassembly is a big deal and it would be nice to incorporate this feature.

it is very unlikely to run HTTP servers through webassembly.

As the wasm runs on client side it doesn't have access to such facilities.

P.s. actix-web is meant for back-end, not front-end

I think it should be possible to run subset of actix, but not actix-web

Just a note that WASI is coming along great, especially with the announcment of the Bytecode Alliance earlier this week. I would love to see this reconsidered, although I did read about this very subject over here.

Hi, is Actix already supporting wasm32-wasi target? If no is that on the roadmap?
Will be good, now that wasm32-wasi can be run in Containerd, Docker and even can run in K8S. Work are being done to include multi-threading in wasm.

Is there no plan to support wasm ? All the modern serverless (deno, cloudflare, vercel, fermyon, ...), require you to compile your code to wasm.

For WASI support, I'd ask for a new and fleshed out feature request issue.
