Ready for what?

WASM is already running in production at a whole bunch of financial services orgs and government infra.

The thing is, it's not running anywhere near HTML, CSS or JavaScript. It's running serverside, mostly on Wasmtime - which, as it happens, is what this post is all about.

There’s plenty of usage in the browser environment as well, plenty of client-side SDKs for things like e.g. video editing, barcode scanning, etc. use it.

why.... why would financial services orgs and government infra run anything on wasm serverside?

It's lightweight, capability-secured, services start up way faster, smaller overhead than VMs, better isolation than containers, faster replication, etc.

The original Wasmtime 1.0 blog post explains it all really well: https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/wasmtime-1-0-fast-safe...
