My mind boggles at the meta-ness of using this software to (direct from the docs) speed up the operation of a webserver compiled to webassembly.

The paranoid security engineer in me screams "Ring0 is what I always wanted my browser to have access to".

Interesting project!



Do not worry, it will be secure. Signed, with verifiable checksums, and gdrp friendly.

Just, erm, load these binaries provided by FB, Google, Microsoft and Netflix. :P


My first thought was mental yelling about keeping kids out of my kernel space. It's been a couple minutes and that has settled down to a grumbling about people sacrificing security in the name of performance again.


Upon inspection of the code, it seems like this is something that could be used by browsers as well...
