alt Hacker NewsUse cases I am more excited about:
1) Replace webhooks in web apps with wasm binaries provided by the customer, but that run in the web app servers.
2) Safer plugin system for professional software (plugins for photoshop, plugins for IDEs, etc)
3) Safer mod system for games and server-side mods that run on the game-maker server.

Check out https://extism.org, it is built for those kinds of use cases. However I think WASI and components could enhance it.

i had this same vision when i created hyper-mcp with modular plugin system via WASM plugins. Too bad, the community moves on from MCP to CLI with coding agent
We had that in the 90's with Java. Why would this approach succeed today?
