While it’s true that it somewhat locks you into a single VM type (WASM), that’s very different from being locked into the JVM.

For one, the idea is that it should be fairly simple to compile an arbitrary program to WASM, allowing you to use a far wider variety of languages.

In this case, it’s more akin to “docker with extra steps” as opposed to “docker but you can only hire Java devs”
