Wasmtime Reaches 1.0: Fast, Safe and Production Ready!

As of today, the Wasmtime WebAssembly runtime is now at 1.0! This means that all of us in the Bytecode Alliance agree that it is fully ready to use in production.

After years of perf optimizations, JS is running way faster in the browser Today, we're starting work to optimize JS perf in places where different rules apply, like Serverless and iOS devices And this is possible because of WebAssembly 🚀 bytecodealliance.org/article…
