Exciting New Container Project
In 2019 the creator of Docker wrote about Web Assembly in a tweet:
If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn't have needed to created Docker. That's how important it is. Webassembly on the server is the future of computing. A standardized system interface was the missing link. Let's hope WASI is up to the task! https://t.co/wnXQg4kwa4

And now there is a very cool new video out that seems to promise something like a development in this direction:
This is project’s homepage is here: https://boxer.dev/
The goal seems to be a new primitive for development like Docker containers were. This is not the only project out there for Wasm on the server of course, but the connection to Docker seemed apparent and worth posting about.
Also, happy Earth Day!🌎🌱
