WASM on the JVM Ships Under the Bytecode Alliance

3 days ago

Endive 1.0, the pure-Java WebAssembly runtime, has been officially released under the Bytecode Alliance.
It replaces Chicory with minimal migration, offering the same API and codebase but under new governance.
New features include full support for WasmGC, enabling integration with languages like Kotlin/Wasm and Dart, and tail call optimizations for improved performance.
A new library, treesitter4j, compiles tree-sitter and its grammars to Wasm, providing a Java API for parsing various languages without JNI.
Endive can host Wasm workloads, as demonstrated in a wasmCloud host and Eclipse Vert.x app, and has been stress-tested by running javac and Scala.js as Wasm.
