Comment on The Risks of WebAssemblyparent

Comments

you don’t run a service in rust, you compile, distribute, and run machine code on your cpu. compare to wasm where you compile to portable ISA and the runtime recompiles to real ISA. the wasm virtual environment is a gazillions of times simpler than a hardware context with all the attendant complexities.

Yes, abstractions are simpler, but they are also slower. It depends what you need.

(personally I am going to invest heavily in wasm)
