WebAssembly as an application's extension point technology gets me wondering about future #umbraco extensions.

Sandboxing untrusted 3rd-party code is such a big win.

It could be a solution to attract potential pkg devs, (in a v13+ world), and ween current pkg devs off a hard C#/.NET dependency.

Just found out that Microsoft Flight Simulator extensions are written using WebAssembly these days! This is such a great use of that technology - I'm all in on WebAssembly as a sandbox for safely running untrusted code such as extensions and plugins https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Programming_Tools/WASM/WebAssembly.htm
