Wastrel has achieved a major milestone by adding full support for Hoot, enabling native compilation of WebAssembly files from the Scheme toolchain including a standalone REPL. The update includes generational garbage collection for improved performance and allows running Scheme programs directly on the console without a browser. This represents significant progress in WebAssembly tooling and Scheme language implementation.
Background
Wastrel is a WebAssembly-to-native compiler toolchain, while Hoot is a Scheme-to-WebAssembly compiler. Both are part of ongoing efforts to improve WebAssembly ecosystem tooling and language support.
