Description

There are various use cases where you want libSQL compiled into WebAssembly. For example, when running on the browser or on different serverless runtimes. It would also plausibly simplify the libSQL JavaScript bindings because we no longer need the different native packages.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing build system (likely Makefile or CMake), identify platform specific code, and use emscripten to compile the library into WebAssembly. Focus on the SQLite core compilation and handling of platform dependent features like threading and filesystem access.
