you seem concerned about security (which was a big factor against the flash VM), but i was more thinking about performance and integration with the environment. Java applets were slow, couldn’t run on most mobile browsers and were sticking out like a sore thumb on each page they ran into. I was talking about the javascript VM (not specifically wasm), which has been the target of hackers for years and run fine on even modest mobile phone. i understand running VM assembly code directly may change a few things relative to security, but other than that we pretty much have the guarantee that wherever javascript is able to run today, wasm will be, and the experience is going to be better (don’t see why wasm couldn’t call the DOM once browser decide it)
