WASI

[bhack]

Is there any Plan to have an interaction with WASI:
WebAssembly/WASI#59 ?

[bhack]

Check also WebAssembly/WASI#53

I'm not aware of any plan with respect to WASI, but if there are concrete and specific things we can do or collaborate on, we would be happy too.

I think some Google employee was at the Fukuoka meeting mentioning MLIR:

@nsthorat Do you was there?

[nsthorat]

@bhack I was there and presented MLIR -- this is nothing concrete just an FYI about MLIR for the group. However, WASM is a backend for LLVM so presumably MLIR can target WASM through LLVM.

@nsthorat Yes I saw you slides. My question was most related as Tensorflow it is entering in the WASM domain with tensorflow/tfjs#1497 (comment) I suppose that in the WASI context, that it is more in an early stage, the MLIR team really wants to play some more "design" role in this phase.
It is why I have mentioned that specific AI/ML WASI issue in this ticket description.

/cc @dsmilkov if he is interested..

@nsthorat Seems that llvm libc++ 9.0 added explicit support for WASI:

libc++ added explicit support for WebAssembly System Interface (WASI).

There will be W3C conference in Berlin on March 2020. @nsthorat is in the committee:
