Thanks, that was a total brain fart on my part.

> I don't get what Service Workers have to do being on the server-side though

Yeah, this is extremely confusing. Other posts talk about running your own CloudFlare workers... but I fail to see any potential connection between service workers and code that executes on edge nodes.

EDIT: Here's an example "service worker" on wasmer: https://github.com/wasmerio/js-service-worker-example/blob/m...

I think they're calling these edge workers "service workers" which is an unfortunate name as it clashes with the name of the Service Worker web API. This is just some JS running under a reduced set of runtime APIs (vs Node or the browser).

Also I think the project's goal is to extend the Wasmer platform (which appears to have the limitation of only running WASM assemblies) with the ability to run JS workers. Hence the need for a JS interpreter and runtime compiled to WASM.
