That's great!

Also awesome to see that you guys are using Wasmer/WASIX under the hood. Would love to schedule some time to chat to see how we can help! (feel free to ping me at [email protected] )

The point of Wasm is that can run anywhere, the goal of Wasmer is to run real workloads on WebAssembly. In my view Wasmer relates quite a bit to MXC generally, and to your first comment particularly.

If you think my comments do not add value, you can simply skip interacting. They might still be useful for others though :)

> the goal of the project is to make all these interfaces plugable with reference implementations that can sit on common infrastructure

That's great to hear.

> You'll have to find me in person over drinks somehow. ;)

Challenge accepted!

I believe Wasmer is the only one that let you use unmodified Python (which can run native modules and even sqlalchemy/gevent), or run Node.js workloads fully.

So even if there are many WebAssembly runtimes, there's only one that mostly cover the POSIX semantics

Thanks for chiming in Kenton.

> workerd and its semantics are not exclusive to Cloudflare infrastructure

I believe they are. You may be able to run workerd, but you can't run D1 (Sqlite alternative), you can't run KV or Queues (please correct me if I'm wrong).

All those are primitives that already exist in the non CF world: KV can be easily redis/memcached. Queues, Kafka and so on. I believe that a system that reuses those would be stronger.

Ok, this peaked my curiosity. Would be great if you could share it!

> consortium of companies invested in using the runtime

I believe this is very unlikely to happen. If the founder (Ryan) was involved in it or it have strong market position, it would have strong chances.

Now, is a kingdom without a king and without strong companies to steward it forward. I hope to be wrong though!

I believe it indicates a healthy market and pushes competition and better outcomes for customers. In this case, Deno pushed Web primitives for Node.js and Bun pushed forward on speed (and helped Node.js work on their numbers better).

This have a similar analogy with browsers. Back then when Internet Explorer was the only supported browser, the websites were not evolving as fast. When Firefox pushed it forward and then Chrome, customers won (better and faster sites).

Love your profile. I just wish you were based in Europe (we are hiring in Europe at Wasmer)

I believe it captures each of the frames as png and then ffmpeg puts them together as a video. Although someone from Anthropic may be able to explain this better
