I see the main advantage in this as running a polyglot application as if its native. For example if you are making a Rust application, you can have a plugin architecture where the plugins run inside a wasm compiled python interpreter.
I dont know if doing this directly and cross platform is as easy without wasmer
- pjmlp 6y agoJust like CLR, JVM and GraalVM, nothing new besides WebAssembly marketing.
- vijaybritto 6y agoAbsolutely. But I think wasmer is a lightweight VM compared to those.
- sagichmal 6y agoWasm is structurally similar to those things, yes, but is so much faster that it is actually categorically different.
- pjmlp 6y agoOf course it is so much faster, it does almost nothing.
- sagichmal 6y agoI hope your cynicism is a force for good in your life.
- pjmlp 6y agoIndeed, it helps me to stay away from hype tech until it finally settles mainstream adoption. The good part is that I save lots of failed projects when that isn't the case, and get consulting gigs to port back into what everyone keeps using.
