We've seen a lot of ppl write electron apps because they're portable. I see this as electron/jvm for code that already exists in non vm languages, so that in theory you don't need to do nearly as much rewriting, or any at all. that's pretty cool.



Yes, that's the idea. In theory.. :)


I recently made a command line assembler tool written in C in the early 90's run in a VSCode extension via WASI just by compiling with the WASI SDK, IMHO that's pretty cool:
