Does not work on RISC-V 64, unsupported cranelift ISA

Basic information

zellij --version: zellij 0.34.4 stty size: 91 384 uname -av : Linux starfive 5.15.0-starfive #1 SMP Wed Dec 21 03:56:12 EST 2022 riscv64 GNU/Linux

Further information I recently received a Starfive VisionFive 2 RISC-V devboard, installed rust on it and installed zellij using cargo install zellij.

When trying to run zellij, I get the following error:


Error occurred in server:

        Also, if you want to see the backtrace, you can set the `RUST_BACKTRACE` environment variable to `1`.

I expect that this is a result from plugins being WebAssembly and whatever webassembly runtime (~~probably wasmtime~~) you use relies on cranelift, which doesn't have support for RISC-V yet.

~~According to https://docs.wasmtime.dev/stability-platform-support.html#interpreter-support, wasmtime doesn't even have an interpreter, so I guess the only way to get zellij to run on RISC-V is if it were possible to completely disable plugins, so it doesn't even try to run webassembly?~~
