It is WASM. This is implied in the post, even though the emphasis is on JS. WASM is still early and has a young ecosystem. Only now are we really starting to explore what WASM can do and I predict that will only accelerate.
- vinnymac 4y agoYea, I believe they made that fairly clear in this paragraph of the article. > Instead of invoking Linux executables, like shell does, the JavaScript sandbox can invoke Wasm. If you have some computational heavy lifting, like image resizing, it probably makes sense to use Wasm rather than writing it in JS. Just like you wouldn’t write image resizing code in bash, you’d spawn imagemagick. I agree with you all. WASM should be the solution to the problem in this space.
