Hi! The WASI tutorial contains a dead link to the browser polyfill:

wasmtime/docs/WASI-tutorial.md

Line 323 in 22a4480

[WASI browser polyfill]: https://wasi.dev/polyfill/

This is essential. Without the polyfill I don't see any possibility to run WebAssembly in the browser.

Update Wasmtime's WASI documentation.
28eb9b2 
Replace most of Wasmtime's original WASI documentation with links to
other resources that are now available.

This documentation was written when WASI was first released, and while
many of the big ideas are still present in WASI, many of the details have
changed. For example, [Jco] is now a much better way to run WASI programs
in Browsers than the original Web polyfill, and WASI is now goverened by
the WASI Subgroup rather than by Wasmtime itself, and so on.

Fixes bytecodealliance#9107.

Thanks for the report! I've now filed #9471 to update Wasmtime's WASI documentation.

The old browser polyfill was very limited and hard to use, and has since been surpassed by better alternatives, in particular, Jco provides a toolchain for running Wasm programs in browsers, that includes WASI support.
