Background

sea-compile-asmscript was created to help the developer learn WebAssembly. AssemblyScript provides a familiar syntax for C-like language programmers but the AssemblyScript toolchain seems (at least the time of writing this) to want a "full" project directory structure. For simple one-off tests this produces a lot of overhead. Thus, the goal was create a simple CLI tool that could convert from AssemblyScript directly to WAT and WASM formats.
