I do understand why people try this approach: First: wasm is the perfect plug-in language, as it provides a high level of isolation and therefore security for the host app. Second: the promise of wasm is that you can write it in any language. I think this is compelling for any application that seeks for extensibility. Wether all this is worth the effort is probably the actual question. Maybe we will be surprised by killer plugins that wouldn’t be possible with regular plug-in systems… |

It's less "this wouldn't be possible" and more the fact that the existence of plugins that are sandboxed and access-permissioned makes me far more likely to seek out and install plugins in the first place, since it lowers the trust barrier. It's the same reason why I browse random websites freely while also being loathe to install random binaries on my computer. Being language-agnostic is just icing on the cake.
