For sure. I wonder if it's a pendulum that will keep swinging, or if most things will go small and stay there.

Don't want to derail from the interesting technical conversation, so feel free to ignore. This is maybe more of a philosophical answer, but IMO the answer is to play games with people you trust. I've recently redicovered the joy o

I love this because it shows what we've lost in the push to add JS, CSS, and endless features to web browsers. Certainly we've gained a lot as well, but there's a cost. And that cost is a small browser like this with minimal

I recommend not engaging. I've tried once or twice, and when I shared a concrete example[0] of a real problem wasm solves for me that I'm not aware of another way to do, pjmlp just stopped responding. I'm not sure what their

I wouldn't say square one. It's still way simpler to control what a program can do. The host runtime decides what's on the other side of those WASI calls.

It's awesome that Wasmi is fast enough to run GUI apps. I'm working on an app runtime for making highly portable GUI apps. I'm targeting wasm because it seems to strike a good balance between performance and implementation si

This is a great example; thanks.

How about your web browser?

An embeddable library that lets you launch Linux VMs that works across Windows, MacOS, and Linux hosts would be incredible.

It essentially boils down to we don't have control over what software can run on these devices, so the extent to which we can harness the hardware is limited to what the OS vendors decide, and they make lots of terrible decisions.

Good thing Apple and Google hamstring the hardware for us. Users can't be trusted with so much power.

What are your motivations for porting in the first place?

This is really interesting. One naive thought that immediately came to mind is that bots might be capable of making cross site requests. The logical conclusion of this entire arms race is that bots will eventually have no choice but to run

How is the conf going? Would have loved to attend but couldn't quite swing it. Can't wait for the videos to drop.

Juce is more common for music creation apps right? I believe Overtone is more of a Spotify alternative.

Are there viable alternatives for your community? Anything that's just as good?

It's too complex. An application format shouldn't need to rely on 5 different APIs to be secure. And the apps aren't portable. I think something like WebAssembly is going to be the way forward.

rqlite also requires you to use special client libraries, whereas litefs is transparent to the program.

You should repost that article on HN. WASI in the browser is awesome and I would love to see some discussion about it.
