Suggestion: add Deno for the next round. [1]

It would also be great to have a benchmark in there that measures host <-> guest interaction with lots of guest -> host and host -> guest calls.

That’s a good idea, thanks!

Deno is using the V8 engine, so is the performance expected to differ from Node?

Probably not but there’s one way to find out


Probably not, no. It would just be interesting to see if the wrapper code makes a difference.

I actually started working on a benchmark suite for various runtimes a while ago. I didn't get too far in, maybe you'd like to collaborate?

As wasm grows it would be great to have a comprehensive set of benchmarks to refer to.

Especially also for things that are unique to Webassembly, like reference types, cross calls, module instantiation time, ...
