summary
WebAssembly is presented as a universal compilation target with 20+ runtimes and 20+ language toolchains, using WASI/WAGI interfaces to run modules outside the browser. Examples include Figma and Microsoft Flight Simulator adopting Wasm for sandboxed plugins, databases like SingleStore and TiDB exposing UDFs via a single SQL CREATE FUNCTION that loads a Wasm module, and data engines (Redpanda) running user transforms. The component model and millisecond cold starts promise scale‑to‑zero serverless.
