This is cool, but is also somewhat saddening too.
The dream is a real wasm native postgres; in fact to get all of postgresql's cool shared mem proccess stuff and make it something like shared array buffer! The dream is also that WASI interface and new-school OS interfaces like memfd_create are increasingly aligned.
Instead of rationalization our interfaces, however, it's just emulation layer on top of emulation layer, tech debt all the way down.

I am not blaming you all in the slightest, to be clear. Obviously one needs to start somewhere. Just sighing at the state of things.
- pistoriusp 4y agoI think we'll see this - and it would be amazing to get someone to work towards this - once there is an amazingly compelling use case that resonates with the market, then I think there's room for optimization!
- Ericson2314 4y agoI am working on a few things that, if one squints, might be relevant. Do ask if you want to know more, especially if you are interested in throwing some $$ that way! :)
