I'm reading docs and barely following what actual mechanism is involved to enable any of the stuff they are selling. Am I correct in reading that this is like a modern version of the JVM with WASM in place of bytecode? So I can compile Python or Go or whatever into WASM and wasmcloud provides a portable runtime? So instead of packaging an entire containers worth of OS primitives, it's runtime with an API?
- mirekrusin 2y agoyes there are couple of things also ie. wasm modules can be published and consumed to/from oci registries, which is nice this linking is interesting also - ie. in docker you don't dynamically load other container to import functionality, but with wasm you can and because they're small you can architect your system around independent modules that use each other directly they use nats for comms and you can probably run your orchestrated system in browser - may sound silly but it's interesting capability as well
