    Are you talking about the browser or other environments? There is a proposal [1] for adding sockets to WASI. This blog post [2] has some more background info. Outside the browsers, you can always provide extra functionality yourself though by supplying host defined functions as imports. That looses the benefit of a standard API, but is fine for custom deployments. [1] https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/pull/312 [2]…
