We’re pleased to announce the release of Hoot 0.8.0! This release features a REPL and the associated tooling to support connecting to a remote REPL running within a web browser.

In addition to the REPL there are many smaller changes, including bug fixes and improvements to the Wasm toolchain.

As a bonus, check out Wastrel, a Wasm-to-C compiler that uses Hoot’s Wasm toolchain. Wastrel supports Wasm GC programs and is faster than running Wasm on NodeJS.
