WebAssembly: From the Browser to... Everywhere?
summary
WebAssembly is shown as a portable bytecode for four domains—browser, IoT, plugins, and cloud—with concrete wins: nearly a dozen runtimes, 17 of RedMonk’s top 20 languages moving toward Wasm, and Fermyon’s open source runtime Spin that demos cold starts around 20 ms and optimizations to sub-millisecond cold start versus AWS Lambda’s 200–500 ms. Practical gaps and fixes are named: WASI for capability-based I/O, upcoming network support, and the component model to wire language-agnostic Wasm libraries together.
