Sure, this fits the way software evolves on the circle of dumb. It goes something like this: What a great idea!... (a little later) Hmmm. That's a problem...

Sure, this fits the way software evolves on the circle of dumb. It goes something like this: What a great idea!... (a little later) Hmmm. That's a problem... (later) We need something to run apps in the browser. I wonder if WASM would work... (now) What a great idea!... Software development always goes in cycles. "Apps" were great now maybe not so much so... In the late 80s/early 90s, the CEO of ETA Systems (a supercomputer company) had a vision that by 2000, the world would be split between supercomputers and workstations. I have seen some evidence that people are considerng that once again... The Circle of Dumb is always with us in software land.
