Ordinary native apps are not safe.
- radarsat1 9y agoWas going to reply something something about sandboxing but then I realized: If we're going to sandbox native apps, I'd rather it be done by a cross-platform standard like wasm instead of done differently by each vendor. The fact is, this web assembly stuff could be seen in some ways as a response to the walled gardens being built by each vendor right now. I prefer native apps too, but if we're going to have walled gardens, why not one big one we can share.
- tannhaeuser 9y agoAh ok, I didn't see it from that PoV, I'm not into third-party apps on my phone. Speaking of which, do you believe Apple will allow running WASM apps on iOS?
- radarsat1 9y agoHaha no idea, I wasn't even thinking of phones at all, but I guess it's a consideration too.
- jrs95 9y agoI'm a fan of anything that will help ease the pain induced by the ever-growing Electron cancer on the desktop. Hopefully this will catch on before I need 64GB of RAM...
