yes but it mostly undocumented, unsupported and trouble assured.

I tried several time and always got stuck somewhere.

Rust that has the reputation to be hard, but is way simpler and faster to get into WebAssembly.

I wish they adopt nlvm as the default compiler, it would make stuff like that way easier and probably boost adoption.

Someone has to come in and make it supported. Adopting nlvm isn't going to magically make it easier.

The reason it's easier in Rust is because someone that's passionate about WASM came along and did the work up front to document everything and make it as simple to compile to WASM as possible, the same is certainly possible in Nim, just need someone to put in some work :)

Yes, you're 100% right and I hear you.

I really do like Nim, but suggesting it to do WebAssembly out of the box could be deceiving and do no good. The project is currently in the hard spot where it's hard to convince your team of using it, but because its hard they is less contribution.

As for llvm, you might be right, I'm not an expert in that particular field. But it seems there is a lot of already backed in stuff you'll have for free. Like Wasm, debugging, optimization. We'll see how the Crystal project manage to get Wasm and how llvm will help them.
