Comment on Show HN: Gogosseract, a Go Lib for CGo-Free Tesseract OCR via Wazero

Comments

I wrote a short blog post[1] on this method a while ago. I do think running WASM in embedded runtimes is a pretty good option, but overhead remains high, and WASI remains somewhat fragmented between compilers and runtimes.

I think this method really shines in Go as not having CGo simplifies a lot of things, and as a decently performant JITed runtime exists in the form of wazero.
