Yes. Or any other place where WASM is/will be supported.
I had a (very) brief look at it once.
Main difficulties should be:
- Memory manager - no mmap
- Shared libraries
- File I/O
- Lock manager
All these points should have a workaround for a limited environment, but
one must work on them - improving abstractions and much testing and
fixes, I suppose.
I believe it should be a long work.
It would have a good usage: allow usage of Firebird directly in web
pages, running in the client. That would be awesome for users wanting to
try Firebird.
That port promises to be much more problematic than Android one.
Certainly, if someone voluteers for that job it will be good, but I
doubt we should spend project resources on it.
