alt Hacker NewsIs it something that can run compiled WASI binaries? Like the kernel part that implements scheduling/fs/networking/gpu?
There's a commercial project like that called BrowserPod, but I also saw some open source implementations.
How does it compare to that?
It's very similar in concept to BrowserPod but with my own syscalls and some quirks I thought were cool. Not attempting to be Linux just attempting to be able to compile stuff that makes sense. Also it's wasm64 browserpod is wasm32.
For example I never added different users/permissions because it's simply not needed in this sort of env.

This means everything has to be recompiled from the ground up (starting from compiling the shell inside the environment, then the tools (ls, grep, etc.), then things like make and git, etc. etc.. Just compiled godot editor but doesn't run very well yet. Caching/packaging compiled stuff becomes a problem so some Docker ish syntax evolved from there. Ex: https://slopshare.dev/v0.1.5/view/zero-ad/

Also its just a project for myself to learn wasm stuff and push the limits of what it can do, but I feel more and more it's a very powerful concept useful in practice
