About the project
A standalone WebAssembly runtime in Rust with the Cranelift JIT compiler, WASI support, and sandboxing. It runs wasm modules and components outside the browser from many languages.
Useful for
- Run a Rust component compiled to wasm32-wasip2 via the wasmtime CLI
- Embed wasmtime in a Python or Go app to execute untrusted user code in a sandbox
- Ahead-of-time compile a wasm module for fast startup on a server

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
