Comment on Serverless Is An Architectural Handicap (And I'm Tired of Pretending it Isn't)

Huh? How would wasm replace containers?
Wasm will allow writing for web browser in golang and php. Server containers won’t go away

If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn’t have needed to create Docker. That’s how important it is. WebAssembly on the server is the future of computing. - Solomon Hykes (co-founder of Docker)

  Well duh. But now it’s too late. It’s not replacing docker in part because mere execution is not only thing docker does.

  Considering how important WASM is, I haven’t seen a single application of it.
  
  WASM on the server seems especially weird since it’s not much more than a bytecode interpreter. At that point you could just use a JVM, maybe with some more cut-down API to make it more sandboxed.
