My experience with CPython (a while ago now) was that it ran like a dog on POWER, and that if you didn't account for the idiosyncrasies of the architecture in the interpreter's implementation, running "well" was a pipe dream. Considering WASM actively masks the underlying architecture, what evidence is there that other managed runtimes will naturally run well on WASM?
- garganzol 3y agoThat's an interesting and open question. Especially the ability to JIT the code on the fly, so it could travel, say, Java -> WASM -> Hardware path. It seems that it's technically possible [0] but there will be dragons.
