if anyone is curious about the technical details, I recently gave a talk about BrowserPod's architecture at the Wasm I/O conference. The recordings of the talks are being published on their YT channel (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP3xGl7Eb-4P9UDywG2NO...), but mine is not there yet.

I work on a project that does exactly that (and more): https://browserpod.io/.
Currently it supports Node, but we plan to add Python, Ruby, git, and more.
You can see it in action in this demo: https://vitedemo.browserpod.io

Ah and kudos to Syrus and his team for this release. Edge.js's architecture seems to have many similarities with BrowserPod. I see it as proof that we are both going in the right direction!

So using agents forces (or at least nudges) you to use go and tailwind, because they are simple enough (and abundant in the training data) for the AI to use correctly.
Does this mean that eventually in a world where we all use this stuff, no new language/framework/library will ever be able to emerge?
Competing with the existing alternatives will be too hard. You won't even be able to ask real humans for help on platforms like StackOverflow because they will be dead soon.

On the Web, you can do that today. This is what https://webvm.io does for example. It jit-compiles Wasm modules at runtime from the original X86.

For reference, when loading https://browsercraft.cheerpj.com for the first time (up to loading a world), my browser downloaded ~32MB.
The second time almost nothing.

Looking forward to progress on the memory control proposal(s).
Another reason to want more than 4GB of memory is to have more address space, assuming that you have the ability to map it. With that capability Wasm64 could be useful also for apps that don't plan to use a huge amount for real.

it does if you log in with Tailscale (networking tab in the side bar).
The terminal-based https://webvm.io has it pre-installed but the graphical demo running Alpine does not.
Luckily, the package manager also works so you can install it with `apk add curl`

It is a bit unfair to Wasmer, because it incur in the (presumed) overhead of `wasmer run ...`, but I could not figure out if the actual clang binary is directly available after it is downloaded the first time.

very unscientific benchmark of `clang hello.c`, after a few runs to make sure the code is downloaded/cached:
jslinux: 4.7s
wasmer: 1.3s
webvm: 1.2s

It's now possible to run Java Web Start applications fully in the browser without any plugins: https://cheerpj.com/cheerpj-jnlp-runner/
It's based on CheerpJ, a JVM that runs in the browser (using JS and Wasm).
