And JavaScript.

  Is Javascript the same though? I've seen numerous stories where security vulnerabilities have been introduced by way of third-party hosted libraries. Java has had signed classloading since the 90s.

    The same as WASM? Yes. Java? No, for the reasons you state.

      No, you misunderstand me. Java has a very strong sandboxing and verification "story". Javascript does not - not even close. Author is saying that WASM does.

        > Java has a very strong sandboxing and verification "story" I disagree that it is very strong (I see java.security.Permission littered everywhere in the stdlib) and it definitely wasn't strong in the days of applets. Maybe in theory, but in practice access to such a large stdlib because it was desktop tech shoehorned onto the browser caused a great many issues.
