Wasmer 2.0 Released With Significantly Faster Runtime Performance, Quicker Deserialization

Going along with a number of other recent WebAssembly interpreter/run-time releases, Wasmer 2.0 has been released as this popular WebAssembly WASI and EmScripten run-time.

Following the recent RC, Wasmer 2.0 is now officially available. Wasmer 2.0 is quite exciting on the performance front with more optimal float handling with LLVM leading "up to +50% faster runtime speeds!" and usage of their Cranelift back-end providing another "+40% faster runtime speed." These big items plus other smaller enhancements make the Wasmer 2.0 run-time all the more exciting and performant.

Wasmer 2.0 also brings around 70% faster deserialization speeds as another performance win. The 2.0 run-time is also seeing better stability and resiliency.

Moving forward there are more performance and security improvements planned for this exciting WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) run-time.
