" summary

WebAssembly launches in 2019 and moves under the W3C, claiming the first new language to be a first‑class citizen of the web in 25 years, and offers a secure sandbox and lightweight, platform‑independent instruction set that suits non‑browser use. Practical results include Envoy replacing Lua with Wasm to become lighter and language‑flexible, experimentation in blockchain smart contracts and IoT, and work on a Crustlet Kubernetes engine to run Wasm inside Kubernetes.
