Quickstart

You can start by running QuickJS, a small and embeddable Javascript engine compiled as a WebAssembly module (qjs.wasm):

$ wasmer qjs.wasm
QuickJS - Type "\h" for help
qjs > const i = 1 + 2;
qjs > console.log("hello " + i);
hello 3

Here is what you can do next:

• Use Wasmer from your Rust application
• Publish a Wasm package on WAPM
