I'm not sure what it would take to run on top of your existing WASM support, but direct support for SwiftWASM would be great.

@aehlke

thanks for the suggestion.

SwiftWasm compiles swift code to wasm to run in the browser (and other wasm runtimes). However the compiler itself is not running on wasm. (installation)

The playground (https://pad.swiftwasm.org/) sends code to the server to be compiled to wasm which is then sent back to the browser.

LiveCodes, being a client-side app, needs the compiler itself to run on wasm or JavaScript (to compile the code in the browser).

It is highly appreciated, if somebody can guide us to a project that can do that.

Thanks again

Thank you for looking - of course you're right, it says it right there, oops

I'd love to use Swift Package Manager-packaged repos as WASM in livecodes as imports, even if I can't write in Swift in livecodes. Is it possible to make it easier to import SPM packages that are Swift that work with WASM? I can investigate resources for you.

I found a great article with resources at end https://www.fermyon.com/wasm-languages/swift
