WASM is WebAssembly. Words have meanings.
If someone wants to try to advertise some weird custom platform that uses WASM as an intermediate bytecode for its packaging format then that's fine, but they'll need to pick a different name.
- hansvm 3y agoWASI is a part of the WASM charter, and parts of WASM are explicitly designed to be friendly to such ideas; It's not quite _just_ some choice of bytecode. Besides, words are just approximations of thoughts, and even on the best of days the delineations aren't crisp. There's a critical mass of people using WASM+containers to refer to WASM ... plus containers (especially those built on the core tech supported by the WASM mission -- WASI -- like the platform tested in the article).
