On: Replacing JavaScript Hot Path with WebAssembly

[int_19h]

But surely that is also fundamentally a solved problem? I mean, we've had distributed systems for a long time, and they had to deal with all the same issues - lifetime, security etc.

Distributed systems are designed (for better or worth) on the idea of non-malicious nodes.

Those that aren't have an extremely limited API - that would be logically not dissimilar from "untrusted wasm talks to more trusted JS".
