Panel Discussion: WebAssemb...
summary
Panelists assess WebAssembly as a plausible new infrastructure primitive tied to edge computing and list concrete signals: Bytecode Alliance backing, Fastly and Cloudflare deployments, Joel Dice demonstrating Java on Wasm, DuckDB and Postgres compiled to Wasm in the browser, and tooling gaps around CI/CD, observability and orchestration. They flag promising languages and runtimes — Rust, AssemblyScript, Grain, Motoko — and see two startup opportunities: client‑side Wasm apps/frameworks and databases with Wasm modules, plus momentum for a component model and an end-to-end Wasm stack.
