Description

It would be nice to have a minimal example using wat so that we are clear how to add new language support.
wasi does not provide network service support, it is unclear to me how spin get the network support? thanks

Background: I am working on a new language called MoonBit(moonbitlang.com) optimized for Wasm, would be
interesting to make it available for Spin users

Research direction

Start by locating Spin's existing language-support guidance and any minimal WAT examples, then read the WASI networking documentation relevant to Spin. The issue names no files or tests, so first map where this guidance belongs. Done means documenting how to add a language, providing a minimal WAT example, and clarifying how network support works for MoonBit users.
