I think you missed the part about it running in the browser? But yes, some previous technologies are similar to some new technologies, that's not really an insight at this point. Especially not about bytecode interpreters which seems like a standard practice.
- debugnik 4y ago> I think you missed the part about it running in the browser? .NET Core started as the Silverlight runtime, didn't it?
- nikki93 4y agoThe extent of Wasm's availability on browsers is quite big right now. Both iOS and Android and all major desktop browsers. That sort of reach is what I meant by the term "the browser" used generically. Different from being an extension to one or a few browsers or something like that.
- idontpost 4y agoSilverlight was never a native part of the browser.
- pjmlp 4y ago.NET did run in the browser from day 1, even if only on IE.
- worik 4y ago> I think you missed the part about it running in the browser? The article expressly stated that was not the exciting part, for them. This is another iteration of the same old byte code blah blah, and each iteration has gotten better, and this is the best yet. Maybe.
