I am sure this has been answered before, but a quick google search didn't really clear this up for me but... I don't quite understand the usage of WASM on the server side (not denigrating, just looking for an explanation). If you are using rust, can't you just compile it down to a binary and run that on your server? Or is the main advantage the sandboxing? Or is the idea you have a bunch of wasm compatible servers and then you can just schedule a bunch of different wasm programs on a server no matter what language you wrote it in?

Is the workflow: Build app in rust, compile it down to WASM, and then run it on a server with wasmtime? I think I am missing some step.
