Description

Right now there's rudimentary support for executing code in a JIT loaded through a dynamic library which exposes a wasm C API. Unfortunately though there's not really a great way to download this runtime for your platform or configure this. It'd be good to have a "run this command" style thing to accelerate macro invocations locally.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how to create a command line tool that downloads precompiled wasm runtimes for various platforms and integrates with watt to accelerate macro invocations. Consider using a release artifact system like GitHub releases or a CDN.
