WebVM sounds a lot like Google’s (abandoned) NativeClient — i.e. running sandboxed x86 code in the browser — but with two extra layers of indirection.
Also, I am pleased to learn there is a protocol called DERP.
This is incredibly neat.
I actually stumbled on this about two weeks ago and was really excited to play with it before I realized I’m not allowed to. Do you have any plans to open source it?
Thanks!
About plans to open source it:
We are still figuring out which use cases we can bring to market, and we prefer to keep our options open for the moment.
I would be interested to see this applied to v86 and the build pipeline to compile lwIP & tailscale to wasm.
This is undoubtedly neat, but… is this really something that should even exist? That we should be building on? Like… why?
Two ideas i can think of: hosted demos of software/systems, and easy multi-host networking/security labs for teaching.
I must says that for me this is kind of magic :)
