It enables a future world where CPU architecture, OS, and runtime don't matter. Code from any language can run on any hardware and interop with any other code.

It enables a future world where CPU architecture, OS, and runtime don't matter. Code from any language can run on any hardware and interop with any other code. Cloud hosts can buy whatever hardware is most economical and your code will work there. Just like Docker eliminated a lot of tedious dependency management for deployment, this eliminates another chain of dependencies, but CPU, language runtime, and operating system.
