Language portability

Language portability is the ability for modules written in one language, like Rust, to run inside a system written in another, like Go. Because WASM runtimes can be embedded within other software, they can be used to introduce specialized components that wouldn’t otherwise be possible in your team’s primary language.

This concept can also be applied to applications that are built by composing together multiple WASM modules written in different languages to form a single piece of software, such as with the Atmo framework, which our company, Suborbital maintains.
