That's super exciting! I do not plan to run GNU Guix inside a WASM runtime (or in a browser) but I would like to experiment with WASM versions of some of our packages. My interest was sparked by the extraordinary claims about the upcoming Hoot, which generates WASM from GNU Guile. The resulting binaries are extremely small ("970 bytes") and "the Hoot-compiled WebAssembly ... is five times faster than native Guile!" [1] In response, I contributed packages for the "micro runtime" [2] and for WasmEdge [3] but neither has been accepted into Guix just yet.
