weval author here (thanks Max for the blog post!). Also AMA!

The talk about weval that Max mentions was at NEU and also CMU; the latter was recorded and is here: https://vimeo.com/940568191

I also plan to write up a blog post on weval in depth, plus its application to SpiderMonkey-on-Wasm, in a few months; it's pretty exciting though, currently getting 4-5x speedups on some benchmarks on a decidedly nontrivial interpreter!



This is amazing! I really do look forward to that writeup.

Would investigating the mapping from interpreters down the assembly that Wasmtime generates be something worth looking into? I got distracted into the vimeo presentation, the weval blog post covers this? How high can the interpreter/compiler tower go?

Is Weval looking to become the PyPy of Wasm?
