"Learning how to use Docker is a distraction"
As if you need to learn anything, you get your Dockerfile and that's it, what else there is to learn? Your WASM app still need Kubernetes to run so it's not adding any value.
The complexity is not in running your app in Docker, the complexity is running your container somewhere, and WASM does not help at all with that.
WebAssembly is not going anywhere, it's pretty clear it won't grow much in the next 5years.
- TZubiri 2y agoDisagree. It's not trivial to manage a running container or group of, with firewalls and filesystems and whatnot. My biggest gripe is that it's quite redundant with the os and tends to reinvent stuff. You end up needing to learn, doc, and build towards both os layer fw and container layer fw for example.
- milesrout 2y agoWASM will be that but tenfold surely? You would need to program against a completely new interface.
- hardwaresofton 2y agoWasm is getting merged in and designed in a way that it is "drop in". As in, the standard libs are written to do WASI calls instead of libc (or whatever else) for standard I/O concerns. This is represented in some languages better than others -- for many languages you just switch the "target" -- from x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu to wasm32-wasip2 (ex. Rust). Some things won't work, but most/many will (simple file access, etc), as they are covered under WASI[0] That's not to say that nothing will change, because there are some technologies that cannot be simply ported, but the explicit goal is to not require porting.

- afiori 2y agoYep, once something failed nothing with any similarity to it will ever go anywhere
- pjmlp 2y agogRPC has gone to places, the question is if the thing with similarity to it has actually learned the lessons from the past, or is the same thing repacked for a new generation.
- afiori 2y agoIf the category you are considering includes both Wasm and gRPC then it might be too wide to say anything about.
