Mozilla announces WebAssembly System Interface, what JVM should have been

Mozilla this week announced a project called WASI (WebAssembly System Interface) to standardize how WebAssembly code interacts with operating systems. With WASI, WASM code will be able run in the browser or any compliant environment, allowing language agnostic, cross-platform application deployment. Riding this wave of optimism, CDN biz Fastly on Thursday released Lucet, its native WebAssembly compiler and runtime for running WASM code in an edge cloud environment.
