En 2019, cela dit, pour les 30 ans de sa création, Tim Berners-Lee regrettait trois des plus grosses problématiques qui avaient émergé en ligne : opérations malveillantes (d’États comme de particuliers), création de systèmes au design trompeur (dark patterns) ; et conséquences négatives involontaires découlant, en partie, des deux premiers éléments (provoquant notamment la polarisation des discours).

. The conclusion we have reached is that Tim’s passion on restoring power over and control of data to individuals and actively building powerful collaborative systems needs to be the highest priority going forward. In order to best achieve this, Tim will focus his efforts to support his vision for the Solid Protocol and other decentralised systems.

With containers, virtualized processes run natively in the host kernel, like any other. Except that their I/Os are carefully kept segregated from others in the host system.

Thought: containers are often too heavy for the job.

The root cause behind the heavy weight of containers is that they have been built for too many usecases.

WASI is a standard API to give WASM code the ability to do system-level I/O.

Solution?

To try to address this, we wanted to move all these heavy dependencies to a common runtime across services. So your tokio, hyper, sqlx and co (in the case of Rust), now all belong to a long-lived containerized process running persistently in the cloud. Whereas all your service logic, database and endpoint code build into lightweight WASM modules that are dynamically loaded in-place by this global persistent process.
