Jason Webbs blog post (which is linked in the github ReadMe) explains the math really well.

The design looks very much AI generated.

Where is the browser in "Orca: WebAssembly Apps Without the Web."?

Where is Orca in "Can you run JVM or CLR apps in the browser?"

If you don't have an answer you can help us all not replying

Nowhere, you apparently missed the point this isn't related to the Web, too eager to reply anything.

The person was just curious about another thing, you apparently missed that you are in HN.

Microsoft has ported CLR (.NET Core) to Webassembly and it runs in the browser. You can indeed run CLR code in the browser. That is how Blazor works

It's pretty bloated and slow compared to alternatives. This may improve if WasmGC gets integrated instead of part of the payload, but it's still not a great solution, especially on constrained devices. The flip side, is running in server mode means the laggy round trip actions that feel somewhat painful in contrast, reminding me of ASP.Net WebForms and how painful that was in practice.

Welcome to the future! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet

This is not Java applet. The browser can already run WASM code natively.

This is the JVM but using WASM as bytecode, which is to say it is yet another WASM interpreter but this one provides a runtime with a canvas.

Basically a Apple II running UCSD Pascal.

Yes, there are multiple efforts which compile JVM bytecode and CIL bytecode to WASM.

Why would you need to if they run outside the browser?

It is way easier to get someone to click a link than to get them to download and run your app.

Orca requires to download and run your app.

Then what is Orca useful for?

Maybe replacing containers...I had a better developer experience and a better overall quality of life when I deployed war files into a servelet container (tomcat). I wasn't patching operating system vulnerabilities across a jagged sea of micro service images or patching vendor supplied images either (literally had to do that with Kafka). I deployed a fucking war file. That's it. And I'd also imagine that a WASM module\app would have a much snappier start time without having to lug around the overhead of a container...And "Alpine Linux" can go ahead and kiss my ass (no offense).

Then give buyers the ability to make their own servers.

Critics are noting that Ubisoft did this to prevent exactly that.

The point was "don't take away users' ability to run their own servers"

Civil engineering in general is more advanced in Europe. The oil crisis in the 1970 and the subsequent use of thermal insulation made "Bauphysik" (building physics) an integral part of the planing process. In the US you just rely on more heating/cooling power instead.

Just as an example: >=16cm thermal insulation + heat pump or solar thermal energy + double or triple pane windows have been standard for new single family homes since at least 2005 in Austria.

Building regulations exist for thousand of years and for good reasons ...

lol

"en" =/= "ent"

I'm a German speaker and even though I understand the difference, the word makes me struggle each time and I have to figure out whether en-shittification or de-shittification is meant.

Ok, I'm dumb. That actually makes me feel better

Those text boxes act like spreadsheet cells - which means you can reference them and use their data in other boxes.

Usually if it is too costly, then you pass it via a pointer.
