How long until we see WebAssembly/WebGPU become a platform independent choice for deploying server side code as well?

- ruined 2y agoas soon as wasi is settled

- paulddraper 2y agoYesterday? There's a number of WASM platforms/tools: Wasmer, wasmCloud, a few others that escape my memory.

- stackskipton 2y agoSRE here, it's currently happening in a few parts but overall, it's not as attractive on server side. Server Side code running is mostly a solved problem and for very few organizations, the benefits of WASM don't outweigh any difficulties in getting it running.
- 6gvONxR4sf7o 2y ago> Server Side code running is mostly a solved problem I know what you mean here, but I think we're very limited in what we tend to run. Polyglot programming still isn't really a thing, and with things like WASI standardized (someday soon I hope), I could imagine it becoming a lot nicer.
- stackskipton 2y agoI feel like Polyglot programming in single app sounds like a nightmare but as non dev, meh, whatever.
