WASM runs on the browser.. What about hosting do you expect to be different?

A more accessible toolchain for complete beginners.

PHP was literally copy/past code snippets into a file and then upload it to a hosting provider.

I don't build for WASM but I'll bet the money in my pocket to a charity of your choice that its harder for a beginner.

The article is about WASM on the server, hence the analogy to CGI(-bin) in the title.

I see. My fault for not moving from "From CGI to Serverless" to "Wasm on the Server".

Like Java and JavaScript before it, WASM can also run on Kubernetes clusters and plenty of other non-browser contexts.
