Sponsored Keynote: The Next Epoch of Technology: Wasm & Actors

summary
Argues that WebAssembly + actors becomes the next application‑library abstraction, with wasmcloud and Dapper as concrete runtimes; claims ~30 billion devices and that ~95% non-functional code dominates enterprise apps, so moving capability bindings to runtime shrinks operational surface to ~5%. Lays out three concrete problems — portability across diverse CPUs, capability‑driven security, and tight coupling to libraries — and demonstrates a path for secure, disconnected edge execution by deferring bindings and using Wasm actor runtimes.
