It won’t prevent obvious security bugs in the PHP code though, which arguably is the most important attack vector for spammers trying to post stuff on your WordPress installation
WASM may offer the most secure-by-default installations of Wordpress to ever exist. This is seriously impressive -- I think we're getting a glimpse of a world where people can really run server side apps on their computers easily. Add an app store and the web will have finished becoming the platform that everyone has been suspecting it is.
And thanks to Chrome one severe bug will effect all around the globe. Monocultures are susceptible to pests and diseases

Skip React/Vue/Svelte/next week's JS framework and client-side render your app directly in PHP, genius. /s
This just replaces the frontend framework written in JS with a frontend framework written in PHP compiled via wasm. It doesn't eliminate the need for something to manage views and state on the front end, as that's where you're executing all of your code now?

Yes indeed. The sarcasm may have been lost in my reply, running PHP in the browser is a great feat of engineering, but not a practical one.

And I am sure a severe bug in Qt will also affect almost everyone, no different from the Chromium situation. And I trust the Chromium/Electron community more than the random "another cross-platform UI framework" that pops up on hacker news that probably will not be maintained in a year. (I am some people don't like this sentence but they have to face the fact.)
Basically for learning/interactive tutorials, trying out something quickly in different PHP versions (which is cumbersome right now), secure and easy demos for themes and plugins.
