The idea is a external format for applications that can be embedded as a object. Not a replacement for web browsers in any way.

- rhelmer 9y agoAh, ok. That's interesting too! There's interest in wasm-land about having "non-web embeddings", which wouldn't assume things like JS APIs exist at all. I think in that sort of world, you could probably find nicer APIs to target than WebGL and WebAudio... however if you don't mind still having a JS interpreted available then it'd probably be easy to build this sort of thing today using Node.
- bobajeff 9y agoProbably, but they also still need to be runnable in browsers. Besides I doubt I could design better safe portable GL and Audio APIs. This is just a subset. I'm mainly curious if this would be easier to implement or not. Using Node would be cheating.
