And then you run QEMU-WASM[1] on that so you can run your Docker containers safely inside a Linux VM... [1]: https://ktock.github.io/qemu-wasm-demo/

Wasm gives lots of benefits and as a project in a new-ish ecosystem we like to tout it and our goals as being a Wasm-native orchestrator. I think in general though nobody should care about running Wasm at all, just like you shouldn't really care about running containers. The goal is to write code and then ship it, the unit of compute is irrelevant. All that being said obviously Wasm isn't a drop-in replacement for co…
> Wasm gives lots of benefits Again, such as what? And if that is true, why aren't some of them listed on the site? Instead of listing the advantages of wasmCloud compared to wasm no-cloud?
For WebAssembly Components- we have tiny, portable code, with a standard ABI that lets us compose between languages. For execution, 50 ns start time means that you can start on demand 'with no cold starts'; the converse is true - scaling to zero.
Because you can scale it and run it only when you need to you can be more reliable (run it in more places) while still operating in a cost efficient way.
It's a subtle story that can be hard to communicate. Thank you for the feedback, we're always trying to do better.
I've seen this project pop up two or three times in the last few days. I'm really excited about this and wasm in general and spent last night working through the docs page ( https://wasmcloud.com/docs/intro/ ). I set up hello world in TS, Rust and Go and went through the happy path of saying hello world. That was a really nice and encouraging dopamine hit. My biggest critique is once you need to go any further and tu…
First off, thank you for the thoughtful feedback here, it’s great to hear you’ve found the docs useful! I’ve read through your feedback and captured issues in our issue tracker for future improvements that will definitely go a long way towards making the experience better. One particularly sticky point we’ve been working on is keeping our examples down-to-earth while still showing off the benefits. Everyone understan…
Before they advertise this, they might want to fix their wasm shell: >> wash build requires go version 1.19 through 1.23, got go1.24
