WebAssembly - The Future of Distributed Computing
summary
Argues WebAssembly runs cloud-side and demos a working WasmCloud setup that deploys tiny modules (one AssemblyScript build is 92 bytes, a TinyGo HTTP actor is ~30K) across three firewalled hosts via OCI images and an OCI image registry, with capability bindings for HTTP and key/value services and cryptographically signed JWT permissions embedded in modules. Shows runtime hot-swapping of providers, no recompilation when switching Redis or in-memory stores, Kubernetes support via Krustlet or containerized hosts, and warns about Go/TinyGo JS bindings.
