Stripping Stdlib for usage in micro controllers

[mdrokz]

Hi im trying to experiment a bit with grain and wasm, and i found out that you can run wasm3 on micro controllers but the binary payload must be <= 64kb and so i thought to strip some of the unnecessary modules from the grain stdlib and try compiling again. but it didnt work, does grain use tree shaking & dead code elimination on compilation ? and is there anyway i can achieve what im trying to do ?

Hi there! There's a number of optimizations coming in Grain v0.6 (November-ish time frame) that reduce module size dramatically. I've been playing around with the Wasm4 game engine and it has a similar module size requirement.

Grain does do tree shaking and dead code elimination, but the upcoming optimizations allow them to work far more effectively.

Hope that's helpful!

Hi thank you for your response! really excited for Grain v0.6 i really like the language, is there anything i can do temporarily to reduce the module size, can you guide me in any way ? otherwise its totally fine i was just curious thanks alot !
