FAQ

What languages can I use with Hippo? Why isn’t my favorite language supported?

Hippo can serve any WebAssembly module that was compiled with support for Web Application System Interface or WASI. Currently those languages are AssemblyScript, C, Rust, and Swift.

Other languages such as C#, Python and JavaScript will hopefully support WASI in the future.

What workloads are suited for WebAssembly?

Considering the benefits and limitations of WebAssembly, some workloads are better suited for running on WebAssembly than others. Microservices that interact over the network would be a prime candidate.
