Is this project still in development?

Hello, I wish to use this project for my game which needs fast scripting,
However my game will run on .NET Core and this is a .NET Framework app, I also wish to port it to other .NET Standard platforms, so it would be nice for this library to run on .NET Standard.

Also, it would be nice (not necessary) for there to be an option to use Reflection.Emit to speed up run times.

Hi @hamarb123!

I've updated this project's source code and the accompanying Wasm NuGet package to target .NET Standard 2.0 in addition to .NET 4.7. Does that work for you, or would it be helpful if I tried targeting an earlier version of .NET Standard for compat reasons?

Good point about having a Reflection.Emit back-end. cs-wasm doesn't have one at the moment. I'd like to implement one in the future. I might have to implement a WebAssembly text format parser first to get better test coverage before I start building a Reflection.Emit back-end.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for your interest in cs-wasm! I'd love to hear more about how you plan to use it to implement scripting and why you're so interested in WebAssembly/cs-wasm in particular.

Thank you @jonathanvdc.

Yes, NET Standard 2.0 is old enough.
I look forward to a Reflection.Emit back-end back-end option, let me know when it is ready.
I plan to implement scripting with WebAssembly by loading the file from a memory stream, and then when a function needs to be called, finding a function with the predetermined name (which has been exported) and calling it. The reason I chose WebAssembly specifically is that I think it is useful to be able to compile from basically any programming language, I chose cs-wasm as it is one of the only 2 options in C# (that I could find) to load a WebAssembly file and be able to execute it, but I could not work out how to get the other project to execute it and I was originally going to use Jint, but it would have been to slow.

Cool! Do let me know if you run into any cs-wasm-related issues; I'm happy to help.

Hi, won't using Reflection.Emit exclude strictly-AoT platform, e.g. iOS? see #4 for context. If said use case is applicable, will a backend selection be afforded?
