This is the sort of thing I look for in posts: a specific prediction or projection, surrounded by good argumentation and a variety of perspectives. Here's what this post says: "The advantages of WebAssembly (more), with its tight security model, very fast boot-up time, scalability at the edge, much smaller footprints, and portability across environments will really drive a shift away from container-based runtimes for things Kubernetes and edge workloads by 2030." However, "for that to happen, it would have to become just as easy to use the Wasm replacement for Docker." Also, "a more approachable, higher-level language is important as an entry point. I think that's one of the challenges with WebAssembly right now: the best environments are lower-level environments, things using Rust, or C++." Now for me to determine whether this prediction is viable, I would need to actually learn WebAssembly and assess its potential for myself. So, into the 'heap of learning' it goes, and I'll get back to it at some point.
