@lupyuen But what are the security implications of WebAssembly. Most malicious JavaScript can be detected and blocked client-side because JS is interpreted. But with Wasm, all a browser would see is a binary blob. Web Assembly relies on browser being an isolated environment. But how Wasm would it handle security if run on vunerable Intel chips (Meltdown, Spectre, etc)?
