<pukkamustard>are there any examples of how to compile goblins with hoot? I'm not finding anything directly in the documentation.

<dthompson>pukkamustard: we haven't written anything official because it's not the best process right now

<pukkamustard>ACTION looking at brassica-chat

<dthompson>but I can help you

<pukkamustard>cool! i'm just trying to get a hello world running

<dthompson>hoot-ffi/imports.js gives you a starting point for the requisite js code you need to boot a goblins program

<dthompson>you'll want to copy/paste that into your project and tweak as necessary

<pukkamustard>aha, ok

<pukkamustard>say I have a WASM module exporting some function and some Scheme code using the exported function. Anyway of linking the WASM module to the Hoot generated WASM?

<pukkamustard>without going trough something like imports.js and instantiating two WASM modules

<dthompson>I think I might need some more info. are you talking about having a non-hoot wasm module that you want to use?

<dthompson>I think that's what you're saying

<dthompson>what's the issue with instantiating two modules?

<pukkamustard>yep, one WASM contains cryptographic functions compiles from C (or Zig) the other is Hoot generated.

<pukkamustard>no issue with instatiating two modules, just feels nicer to me to link it into one WASM module.

<pukkamustard>dunno about performance

<dthompson>combining them is possible, generally speaking, but we don't have a tool to do this automagically

<dthompson>wasm->wasm calls are cheap

<pukkamustard>but doesnt instantiating two wasm modules, means calls go: WASM -> JS -> WASM with lot of copying stuff around?

<dthompson>no

<dthompson>if you import a wasm function into another wasm module that's going to be wasm->wasm

<pukkamustard>aha, nice

<dthompson>pukkamustard: lemme know how it goes and if you need any additional help!
