Some things to note:
- Wasmer isn't available as a package on most distros from what I can tell. Instead they want you to curl a script directly to your shell, which is bad practice.
- They do not have a reproducible benchmark or a test suite to prove that it is actually faster than Docker and it is likely you can't even compare them. The Docker daemon and containers generally have very fast startup times.
- Docker containers are OS independent as well, but rely on Linux kernel features so they run more native on Linux. This isn't a negative. Most microservice apps are Linux-based.
- Adding abstractions for the chipset has always been slower than optimizing and compiling for multiple architectures. This is like someone saying Java is better because it provides a VM that translates everything. Instead Java has a reputation for being clunky and slow because of it. Well built apps and pipelines can easily be compiled for multiple architectures. See Alpine Linux for example.
