The WebAssembly runtime Wasmtime version 1.0 has been released, with updates to improve the https://wasmtime.dev/’s security posture and performance. One reason for the update is that platform developers were bringing WebAssembly outside the browser.

The alliance is an open source https://github.com/orgs/bytecodealliance/people dedicated to building on standards such as https://thenewstack.io/what-makes-wasm-different/ and WASI.

Use cases outside the browser are where the runtime comes into play, allowing WebAssembly to run safely outside the browser, Clark noted in a blog https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/wasmtime-1-0-fast-safe-and-production-ready.

The Byte Code Alliance has seen improved performance results across companies that have tested the new runtime.
