Lots of great answers as to the "how" and "what" here, but here's a real short one for you to answer "why?": Capabilities Security model. It's absolutely ludicrous that all software doesn't run this way. One of those "so obvious, it sounds dumb" things, but that's what all this stuff is bringing imo. And I was an "I hate WASM and I'll never use it" person in the past.
- TillE 4y agoI still think, somehow or another, capability-based microkernels are the future of computing. There have been many attempts, though the most serious one is probably Google's Fuchsia. Maybe they'll gain some new life as a natural home for WASM.
- pjmlp 4y agoActually type 1 hypervisors running cloud workloads happen to the be most successful microkernels, but monolithic defenders still haven't got it.
