WebAssembly, or Wasm , has finally started becoming usable by ordinary developers. The arrival of a stable WASI 0.2 standard and the component model marks the beginning of what could be a major shift in the way software is written.
WASI 0.2 and the component model, allowing Wasm components written in different languages to communicate using the common standard of WASI, is now stable enough that implementers can start to rely on it. Practical use cases are now being explored in earnest. Wasm is started to break out of a small niche populated mostly by hard core enthusiasts and gain a following from the broader developer community.
Most real-world applications need to interoperate with things that already exist; data lives in existing databases; customers use existing applications and physical devices like smartphones. The advent of WASI 0.2 and support for HTTP-based APIs is an important step, but more is yet needed. Happily, the enthusiasm for Wasm at Cloud Native Wasm Day indicates that a Docker moment may not be far away.
