Indeed none of the cloud providers support WASM as first-party support yet. justincormack 2 months ago Workers does support wasm https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/runtime-apis/webas... 1 reply → max_lt 2 months ago CF Workers does support WASM. We do too as V8 handles it natively. Tested it, works, just hasn't been polished yet. otterley 2 months ago The problem is that there’s not much of a market opportunity yet. Customers aren’t voting for WASM with their wallets like they are mainstream language runtimes.
