Point number one isn't applicable to wasm. The execution inside the kernel is related, but nobody replies to a lua in kernel post with a link to the talk.

- pjmlp 8y agoBecause Lua isn't related to Web development, while JavaScript and WASM are.
- reitzensteinm 8y agoRight, but that's my point. Wasm is tenuously connected with JavaScript because both are web technologies, so people link the talk. But they couldn't be more different technically, and if wasm does indeed become the lingua franca of future computing it will be much more boring than the craziness of js doing the same. The talk was great because it was about an insane yet plausible future. We now have a boring and probable future.
- pjmlp 8y agoI don't believe in that, too much experience to believe in a miracle bytecode format that will magically succeeded where others failed. It will just be yet another VM platform.
- reitzensteinm 8y agoEven less reason to link to the talk then :-)
