I'm sold on the future of wasm. What really still bothers me is the effort and hoops I have to jump through to actually leverage it. Networking, just fix networking so I can drop in most things and it would be great. The fact that I have to rewrite the majority of my network access to do any external IO is painful but I get that containers took more than a decade after Google's use to get there too.
- justsomeuser 4y agoBeing isolated is good and bad for WASM. You get lots of benefits, but then you cannot use any C system calls which most code relies on (networking, disk, GUI) etc. It looks like runtimes are going to create message passing interfaces to access these C system calls. Wouldn't it be easier just to create better sandboxes for the old code rather than create a WASM runtime with new message passing interfaces to all the old C system functions?
- Deukhoofd 4y agoDoesn't WASI have what you need for networking?
- syrusakbary 4y agoNice to see you here Asim! Stay tuned for some updates from Wasmer regarding networking, I'm super excited on what's coming next for full networking apps running on Wasm... can't wait to share it!
