It seems to me that WASM is clearly a better suited technically as the core runtime of the future for serverless platforms... but the question is are isolates the VHS and WASM the Betamax in this story?
- kevingadd 4y agoThey're not comparable in that way. WASM runs inside a v8 runtime environment (or in other places), I'm pretty sure you can run wasm inside an isolate. You can basically think of WASM and JS as two different interpreters you can run inside of V8's little mini operating system.
- ledgerdev 4y agoActually that's incorrect, there are a nunber of wasm runtimes that don't use v8. Here's links to a couple. https://wasmtime.dev/ https://wasmtime.dev/ https://www.fastly.com/products/edge-compute https://www.fastly.com/products/edge-compute
