- sanskarjethi 4y agoPardon my ignorance, but what does ISA mean? > WASM runs in quite unusual environments Why not just use regular Rust/C++? For the isolated environment of execution?

The answer is: Because you apparently have a WASM environment, and not a C++ or rust environment. There is no virtue to any one thing over another. It's all, what you have to work with at the time.
