Hello Dan,

Thank you for this! We are looking to run Lambdas with node.js and Webassembly (with C...not Rust).

Hi Daniel! Thanks for checking this out! I'm planning to extend support to C eventually (after things stabilize a little), but I'm not sure how long this will take.

Can I ask what made you decide to go with C (as opposed to Rust)? I'm just curious -- I worked with C for a long time, and these days I mostly avoid it in favor of Rust 😆

We have loops that take 30 seconds in Python, we need the speed that C provides (and the community is broad).
