Technologies like WASI are coming on right now to do exactly this kind of access in the context of a sandbox. From what I can tell, they're going through a lot of the same progression of JVM and .NET IL back in the 90's and early 2k's but for whatever reason seem to be more openly embraced in all the places where WASM is gaining a foothold.

I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that this one sticks .. oh and, please make WASM run in a browser without JS :)
