Hi Aleksey,

Your biggest obstacle is probably the fact that c-lightning spawns several
processes (subdaemons) and depends on the bitcoin-cli binary for bitcoind
RPC. If WebAssembly supports multiple processes (not just threads) that's a
good start I guess.

There is a c-lightning specific mailing list on
https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/c-lightning

Cheers,
Igor
