WASM is great :) unironically

everything should switch to wasm. i'm not saying this because of arbitrarily. it's just very well thought-through. wasm automatically provides portability, sandboxing, and integration with other languages.

like, one of the things i still don't understand is why we don't have automatic sandboxing for every application. like, when i download and run a new game from steam, why isn't it automatically put in a sandbox? Why does it have full read/write access to my entire disk? i don't like that at all...

Converting everything to wasm would solve that automatically, and very easily on top of that.
