WebAssembly is a portable binary format. That means the same file can run anywhere.

To uphold this bold statement, each language, platform and system must be able to run WebAssembly — as fast and safely as possible.

People who are familiar with Wasmer are used to this kind of announcement! Wasmer is written in Rust, and comes with an additional native C API. But you can use it in a lot of other languages. After having announced libraries to use Wasmer, and thus WebAssembly, in:

• PHP with the [ext/wasm](https://github.com/wasmerio/php-ext-wasm) extension,
• Python with the [wasmer](https://github.com/wasmerio/python-ext-wasm) library,
• Ruby with the [wasmer](https://github.com/wasmerio/ruby-ext-wasm) library,
• Go with the [wasmer](https://github.com/wasmerio/go-ext-wasm) library (see Announcing the fastest WebAssembly runtime for Go: [wasmer](https://medium.com/wasmer/announcing-the-fastest-webassembly-runtime-for-go-wasmer-19832d77c050)), and even
• Postgres with the [wasmer](https://github.com/wasmerio/postgres-ext-wasm) library (see Announcing the first Postgres extension to run WebAssembly),
• and many other contributions in .NET/C#, R and Elixir…
