# Extism kernel The Extism kernel implements core parts of the Extism runtime in Rust compiled to WebAssembly. This code is a conceptual re-write of [memory.rs][] with the goal of making core parts of the Extism implementation more portable across WebAssembly runtimes. See [lib.rs][] for more details about the implementation itself. ## Building Because this crate is built using the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target, it is a separate build process from the `extism-runtime` crate. To build `extism-runtime.wasm`, strip it and copy it to the proper location in the `extism-runtime` tree you can run: ```shell $ sh build.sh ``` [memory.rs]: https://github.com/extism/extism/blob/f4aa139eced4a74eb4a103f78222ba503e146109/runtime/src/memory.rs [lib.rs]: ./src/lib.rs
