I have to admit, I’m a bit wary of WebAssembly. It might have to do with the ‘Web’ in the name, but I tend to focus on the people creating and pushing a technology, and for the most part (with exceptions such as [WebGPU](https://forum.malleable.systems/t/webgpu/63) and yourself) WebAssembly feels a bit too trendy and hype-y for my taste. I’ve seen enough cases in the past where big companies get into a promising technology, and it never ends well for my priorities.
