    Hey Tim, I appreciate your willingness to engage. What I'm getting at is a bit more pointed. In terms of composability, Docker and WASM are opposites: Docker requires a stand-alone runtime, and an orchestration layer, etc., whereas a WASM module & runtime can be embedded directly into my application, into a browser, or into (comparatively) simple, time-tested tools like Apache[0].

    So, to your point, the opportunity here is to provide WASM-native alternatives to existing container-specific technologies, that are more composable by design, because they don't have to deal with the complexity of trying to ape an extra operating system just to run some software.

    For example, I'd love to see container orchestration be supplanted by something like a la carte Erlang-style service discovery—that's a primitive that could easily be composed with other primitives, and wouldn't result in the combinatorial explosion of nouns we see in systems like k8s / Swarm / others.
