If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn’t have needed to created Docker. That’s how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let’s hope WASI is up to the task!
I think WASM/WASI still has a ways to go before that’s realistic, but I’d keep an eye on them for the future.
Missing a comma: “Stop, use Docker.” But actually, use Podman.
