Hello world example by using an headerless implementation of the WASI interface. The only dependency is clang

hello.c

/*
 * This code is a headerless implementation of the WASI interface in C and prints "Hello World!. 
 * You only need clang and the llvm linker.
 *
 * compile with
 *     clang -Os -nostdlib --target=wasm32 -Wl,--allow-undefined hello.c -o hello.wasm
 *
 * run with
 *    https://runno.dev/wasi
 *        Just upload hello.wasm
 *
 *    https://github.com/wasmerio/wasmer
 *        wasmer run hello.wasm

 *    https://github.com/CraneStation/wasmtime
 *        wasmtime hello.wasm
