To expand the premise in the title, to be a true heir to that lineage, I would say that WASM needs to be as easy to host and deploy as PHP applications are (or used to be) on the LAMP stack of any random hosting provider. I suspect that’s not quite the case yet?
- thomastjeffery 2y agoWASM runs on the browser.. What about hosting do you expect to be different?
- fmajid 2y agoLike Java and JavaScript before it, WASM can also run on Kubernetes clusters and plenty of other non-browser contexts.
- tmpz22 2y agoA more accessible toolchain for complete beginners. PHP was literally copy/past code snippets into a file and then upload it to a hosting provider. I don't build for WASM but I'll bet the money in my pocket to a charity of your choice that its harder for a beginner.

- layer8 2y agoThe article is about WASM on the server, hence the analogy to CGI(-bin) in the title.
- thomastjeffery 2y agoI see. My fault for not moving from "From CGI to Serverless" to "Wasm on the Server".
