There is value in making insecure things hard and awkward to do, rather than providing them as first-class constructs.

- jchw 5y agoWhile this is true, if this is going to be the future, it may as well be provided as a feature with the proper precautions. While this doesn’t fully sandbox code, it does at least seem to provide some decent baseline security features. If I needed to import code from a web address for some reason, this is certainly the way to go, and whether ideal or not, sometimes that is a need that crops up. That said, proper sandboxing and/or at least optional integrity checking would certainly be nice.
