Edge WASM

I've been playing around with wasm for awhile to see what new it offers over existing technologies. I played with Fermyon cloud. It was cool, but not seeing how it beats just running things in a container. They have quick cold starts but that's something thats pretty negligible especially if your app content is the network bottleneck.

I tried building with zig which is partially supported but quickly ran into some issues because it's not "officially" supported. I think as zig matures will be a pretty nice language for wasm since it's similiar to rust but compiles faster. Rust has better memory safety but that is pretty much solved by wasm.
