  (Same answer as a more deeply nested comment below) The technology is extremely flexibile, off the top of my head: * Education (Linux, Programming, Security, ...) * Live docs for arbitrary languages and binary libraries * Preservation of historical software and games * Virtualization of legacy Windows enterprise apps. * Dev environment for Web IDEs Just a few examples, the list could go on for long

  This isn't WebVM specifically, but one example using WebContainers we've built is https://demo.graphweaver.com/ https://demo.graphweaver.com/ This runs a NodeJS server and frontend in your browser so you can see what Graphweaver can do without having to install or run anything more than a browser on your computer. The example has an SQLite database joined to a REST API. Graphweaver serves a GraphQL API with the result.
