wasix: a relevant project

[williamstein]

There is something called WASIX that is "an effort to port legacy POSIX APIs (including many with questionable design such as fork()) to WASM." This is a relevant issue in the Zig repo -- ziglang/zig#17115

CoWasm itself is also an effort written in zig to port legacy POSIX APIs (including many with questionable design such as fork()) to WASM. So discussions about WASIX are relevant to this project.

The functionality WASIX claims to have in their blog post https://wasmer.io/posts/announcing-wasix seems in some cases to be significantly more than Cowasm, e.g., actual pthreads support (?).

Hi @williamstein , happy to collaborate on this.

Let me know if this may be of your interest! (feel free to ping me to syrus [at] wasmer.io)

[williamstein]

Thanks! It's very impressive what you guys are doing, and continuing to do.

@syrusakbary one thing you might be interested in that I recently wrote is basically a reimplementation of sshfs, but in Javascript using websockets -- https://github.com/sagemathinc/websocketfs -- it's MIT licensed, and might be something of interest for your projects (not sure).
