pwasm 0.2a0

Release: pwasm 0.2a0

pwasm is one of my folly projects - an entirely vibe-coded pure Python WebAssembly engine that I built in January during my first bout of AI mania.

I hadn't touched it since January, so I decided to let Claude Opus 5.5 loose on it and see if it could make any significant improvements:

Evaluate current state of pwasm - then consider what it would take to get the MicroPython and micro JavaScript experiments from the research repo working under it - and what it would take to speed it up

42 commits later (with minimal follow-up prompting) it now handles almost all of the WASM specification and the wheel from PyPI bundles working WASM builds of MicroPython, QuickJS and Micro QuickJS.

I wouldn't trust this thing at all - hence the alpha version tag - but it's interesting seeing how today's models can improve on the work of models from 10 months ago.
