cited to announce full Python support in Wasmer Edge (Beta) Founder & CEO With AI workloads on the rise, the demand for Python support on WebAssembly on the Edge has grown rapidly. However, bringing Python to WebAssembly isn't trivial as it means supporting native modules like numpy, pandas, and pydantic.

While projects like pyodide made strides in running Python in the browser via WebAssembly, their trade-offs don't fully fit server-side needs. After months of hard work, today we're thrilled to announce full Python support in Wasmer Edge (Beta) powered by WebAssembly and WASIX.
