After a full month of coordinated, decentralised action, the number of articles about Mr. Woodard was reduced from 335 articles to 20. A full decade of dedicated self-promotion by an individual network has been undone in only a few weeks by our community.

A bit disappointing that this does not get more attention on HN. Using WASM as a sandboxed embedded compute environment has so many use cases outside the browser.
For example extensions/plugins in code editors is another very interesting use case.
There are huge problems eg with both the Unity C# approach as well as Unreal C++.
The swift approach is very interesting indeed, and Miguel de Icaza as the author gives additional reason to follow this effort.
Additionally the Verse project from Unreal is extremely interesting imo, and has much wider scope/implications.
Hopefully LSP specification can evolve over time and incorporate some of these ideas!
