I know one of WebAssembly's biggest features by design is security / "sandbox".
But I've always gotten confused with... it is secure because by default it can't do much.
I don't quite understand how to view WebAssembly. You write in one language, it compiles things like basic math (nothing with network or filesystem) to another and it runs in an interpreter.
I feel like I have a severe lack/misunderstanding. There's a ton of hype for years, lots of investment... but it isn't like any case where you want to add Lua to an app you can add WebAssembly/vice versa?
