What Hacker News says
3 sourcesIt would be cool to package Wasm for every platform easily. You could make a hermit runner for android that loads the module and wasi configuration from the hermit, but uses its own runtime instead of the one embedded in the hermit.
Excluding the Wasm runtime, the hermit's runner or hermit base is under 400 LOC:

In Hermit: Actually Portable WASMi got ubuntu container transpiled to wasm running in a hermit on Windows.
