Comment on Rethinking Virtualization for Backends

Comments

This is the same line of thinking as Deno. Turns out the browser sandbox model is a solid foundation to build systems in which processes share resources in a secure way

Embarrassing question: what exactly is "the browser sandbox model"?

What I mean is, what are the first principles behind it? What makes it different from other sandbox models?

These two come to mind for me:

* Using URL origins

* Not allowing any sort of host access

Yeah that's the thing with all modern stuff.

"you know how good software performs really well?"

"yeah"

"let's make our thing not like that, and use JavaScript."

"great idea."

I'm still waiting to see the service worker api for a backend server.
