Yes, and the whole browser<->plugin and plugin<->applet communication layers are missing, WASM runtime is embedded directly in V8 so the WASM code literally is ran closer to the metal.
- jackpeterfletch 8y agoWASM runs directly on V8, which runs natively. Bytecode runs directly on the JVM which runs natively. I'm not seeing how eithers closer to the metal.
