I forgot to include the potential for malware. Some links: https://www.virusbulletin.com/virusbulletin/2018/10/dark-side-webassembly/#h4-webassemblys-date-malware https://medium.com/better-programming/webassembly-is-the-end-of-the-internet-as-we-know-it-9085a49cbc7b https://it.slashdot.org/story/20/01/08/1421216/half-of-the-websites-using-webassembly-use-it-for-malicious-purposes Otherwise, I have read about how WA will break the web, but I can't find them again so far. WA is being presented as a way to get better/faster/etc programming languages into the browser. But actually it will be more like Flash - it's taken years to flush Flash out of the system, and now we're going to get a more advanced rendition. I suppose it's inevitable, but I don't have to like it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
