It sounds to me like a similar concept to platforms. what are your thoughs?
Karl (Apr 09 2024 at 17:47):The WASM components standardization effort has been going for a few years. WASI 0.2 in January is just the first generally useful release of the idea. In Roc the Module Params proposal from last August is closer to the concept of wasm modules than the current setup so I assumed it was a source of inspiration. I think the most novel thing about the effort is that the WIT ABI is the first serious attempt at a standard ABI that's higher level than C.
