WASI preview 3: threads and async in WebAssembly

WASI 0.3, also known as preview 3, was ratified on June 11, 2026, adding native asynchronous concurrency to the WebAssembly component model through streams, futures, and async functions. It fixes old fragmentation across languages and runtimes, enables real composition between Wasm services, and paves the way for cooperative threads planned in upcoming 0.3.x releases.
