Description

The ecosystem could benefit from establishing terminology to explain the difference between a Wasm runtime and a project that uses a Wasm runtime under the hood. For example, both Spin and WasmCloud execute Wasm using the Wasmtime runtime. What do we call those projects? "Execution environment" is one option.
