Long live Wasm indeed! Obviously we feel a bit differently about Docker and k8s being in the past — Docker is used by 68% of professional developers according to the latest SO survey[0], and k8s is still growing in popularity at 28%. But obviously the technology landscape changes rapidly, and maybe one day (we hope) Wasm will be at 28%, 68% or higher. We’re frankly just excited about the possibilities, and wanted to help along the way :)

Hi Tim. The stats logic will probably apply as well for gas car makers vs electric ones, or any field to that matter that might be at risk of disruption in a perceivable timeframe (but are not disrupted just yet).

Don’t get me wrong though, I have tons of admiration for Docker (in fact, Solomon Hykes is an investor in Wasmer) and the great ergonomics you introduced along the way to help developers and reach the current status quo. Without you guys probably we would have reached the cloud advancements much later in time. However, we paid those advances with an order of magnitude greater complexity in other layers (with the likes of cloud providers profiting from it).

But now I sincerely believe we need more powerful abstractions for the edge, serverless and Web 3.

In any case, I’m incredibly excited that you are researching more into WebAssembly. That’s great for the ecosystem and also will help to bring more devs onboard. Thanks for all the work!
