Someone should write a user-oriented WASI-based OS, and I’m not even kidding.
I want a virtual OS I can load onto any operating system, give a manifest file, and it’ll deploy an entire server environment. Think: stripped down Synology OS, but virtualizable, and only runs WASI programs.
Its key feature would be: it can automatically update itself and its applications whenever updates become available.
Once again not loving that I can’t just write applications for my Synology NAS without needing to go through the complicated process of packaging it up in a very specific architecture-dependent way.
My NAS isn’t powerful enough to run Docker containers either — Wasm Components really would be perfect. But we don’t have a way to auto-update them… yet.
