I vividly remember how I was young and stupid, and some people claimed that web components would replace everything. There was a guy in another team who kept bashing us for building things on top of React because "you'll see, very soon, in just a few months...just like you're having to rebuild from Angular, and someone before you had to rebuild from Backbone/jQuery..."
I've grown less young since then, and I can probably count numerous other claims for some great idea to replace "all this crap very soon." Turns out, "one-size-fits-all" solutions are almost always hype, sometimes not even backed up with pragmatic arguments. There are simply no silver bullets in our industry, especially in relation to web tech. Guess what? Some websites are still being built with jQuery, and maybe there's nothing wrong with that.
No, WASM not going to replace containers. At best, it will likely find its specific niches rather than becoming a universal solution. That's all.
