# zion-sati/NetWasm

> An independent compiler that turns C# and .NET CIL into small standalone WebAssembly with WASI, bundling its own CoreLib, runtime and precise GC. It lets you build C# apps for Wasm without shipping the desktop CLR, Mono or application DLLs.

- Build a standalone WASI component from a C# project via dotnet publish
- Run the published .wasm in Wasmtime without .NET installed
- Compare NetWasm Wasm size against Rust on your own workload

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:37–04:07: 231 → 233 stars (+2). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +60 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 19× that of the previous week and a half.
- Hacker News: “C# now beats Rust on WASM size” — 154 points, 1 day ago.

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
