A low hanging use case would be scripts for a distributed data analysis system. e.g. You type in a function and then it compiles to wasm and is sent out to run on worker nodes. Or you write code snippets for code to run in a distributed dag.
This exists with e.g. shared file systems (how hpc works, how hadoop works) and Python can pickle code and send it over a socket (be aware that this is a security risk). WASM seems like a nice and direct solution for moving code to data.
- alexhutcheson 6y agoSQL UDFs might be another potential use-case in the same category.
- pjmlp 6y agoOracle and Microsoft already use JVM and CLR for that.
