I know there have been many efforts to write a universal VM. Two things I think will make wasm more successful than prior attempts is:
1. it comes on with platforms already via a browser or node.js
2. like you said, the tools are here now (really LLVM made most of this possible)
- DannyBee 8y agoSure, i'm just saying your comment seemed to be saying "java's write-once run everywhere failing was due to trying to have one true language", and i think that part is fairly orthogonal.
- drzaiusx11 8y agoI don't believe it's failure is entirely based on it shipping with a prescribed language--but I wouldn't say it's orthogonal. Java, the language, promised "write once, run everywhere" whereas the JVM in the beginning was just an implementation detail. The JVM slowly evolved into a universal vm concept, mostly at the hands of the community and not those (Sun, Oracle) that had the most control over it.
