> but i do not see you offering me a WASM runtime for the 8051 either

As long as there’s a C compiler for it, just use https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/blob/main/wasm2c/README.... or https://github.com/turbolent/w2c2

That way, you get the portability of C, the optimisation power of GCC or your favourite C compiler and the portablity and determinism of WASM! Obviously there’s some overhead but there are definitely situations where this is a good option, especially where there’s a compiler available for WASM but not for whatever obscure platform you want to use
