What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It is genuinely production-proven inside Fastly and Fermyon for HTTP, with a measured 2.77x geomean AOT speedup, but it is scoped to HTTP server components and still on WASI 0.2.
Next
Prototype an HTTP server component with the specialized starling-raw.wasm build and benchmark cold-start; treat it as the JS-on-Wasm substrate only for fetch-shaped HTTP workloads.
