Interesting that it’s temporal (according to the article, you have around 10 microseconds before the signal-based preempter kicks in). How bad is performance if the load on the host is so high that double-preempting is common, I wonder? Or

I mean, that pattern is pretty common in the micro service world. Services for things like authz, locking, logging/tracing, etc. are often centralized SPOFs. There are certainly ways to mitigate the SPOFiness of each of those cases, bu

That gets tricky fast. News as nonprofit might work, but would likely have even more severe resourcing issues than smaller newsrooms are having today. If news sources were publicly funded like schools, that compromises the very important ne

Do you mean it depends on Firefox for money and staff from Mozilla inc/fdn? Or that it uses a Firefox-based browser engine for HTML emails? If the latter, I don’t imagine this will have too terribly much impact. Email clients often lag

instantiateStreaming is not the problem; the problem is that JS code is necessary (via that function or another) to execute WASM, and JS is necessary to call back from WASM into browser APIs. Because of that, WASM in the browser is, at pres

I think GP was referring to running wasm directly rather than using (as your website does with WebAssembly.instantiateStreaming) JS APIs to bootstrap it and JS APIs every time it needs to do something with the browser's built-in functi

Illegal it may be, but as jart (who has probably seen some shit, to put it mildly) points out, that doesn’t stop a very wide variety of programs from depending on this behavior, intentionally or inadvertently. Heck, runtimes like Python (an

What do you mean by "runtime polymorphism" here? Vtable dispatches? Something else? I guess I'm confused by the mention of call graph roots; in my mind those are just ... entry points. Edges in the call graph might be a PITA

Channel-based programming, perhaps? From Go style to Erlang shared-nothing, those approaches offer some of the properties you’re looking for. Or maybe the holy grail hasn’t been created yet in this category: a compiler that can transform a
