> when a big tech company has success experimenting with it

TFA has many examples of big tech companies using Wasm in production. It's not exhaustive either, e.g. the article doesn't mention:

- Google using it as a backend for Flutter and to implement parts of Google Maps, Earth, Meet, Sheets, Keep, YouTube, etc

- Microsoft using it in Copilot Studio

- eBay using it in their mobile app

- MongoDB using it for Compass

- Amazon supporting it in EKS

- 1Password using it in their browser extension

- Unity having it as a build target

(And this was just what I found with some quick web searches; I'm sure there are many other examples.)

> the fact we haven't heard much about was use is probably because it isnt as valuable as we think

One of the conclusions of the article is that it's mostly used in ways that aren't very visible.
