CHAPTER

The Role of WebAssembly in Interoperability

I'm hoping to see at some point a platform that orchestrates Wasm across the cloud the edge the browser etc and it's only a matter of time until we see that actually happen in my opinion yeah. We have to start looking at distributed computing as a holistic problem that can span compute devices from you know the watch I'm wearing to the giant
