" summary

Argues that WebAssembly brings the browser security model and near-instant startup to cloud workloads, positioning it between VMs and containers; cites early work starting June 2019 with a first draft around December 2019 and projects like wasmCloud and crestlet already in play. Notes practical use in Envoy/Fastly integrations and a push toward compiling to wasm32-wasi. Estimates about 1–3 years to close remaining runtime and developer-experience gaps.
