Some thoughts and reflection on my first day using Wasm components for something more involved than hello world. caution message

I've been evangelizing WebAssembly for what feels like the last 100 years (it's only been 4!).

As we peel away the layers of shiny demos and things that only work under a blue moon at the stroke of midnight in a thunderstorm, reality sets in that the core Wasm standard is just, as my colleague Bailey Hayes says, “three ints in a trenchcoat.”

Bridging WebAssembly Gaps With Components and Wasifills

It's an amazing time to be on the bleeding edge of the WebAssembly adoption curve, but it's not without risk.
