In the comments they clarify that is mostly targeted at servers and IoT first. In the enterprise world attestation is absolutely needed. And on personal devices? I’d be very happy if I had a secure boot chain for full disk encryption working out of the box. At least for portable devices…

Since it’s IBM sponsored/supported they probably didn’t want to tell the reader that you can simulate a quantum computer on classical hardware. So no need to use their service to use “the real” thing.

You also see the international fallout of this in England and Norway. Maybe that was also a factor, back when the US might have cared about allies.

For many of these, WebAssembly is critical to either their entire product or a major feature.

But I think this alone is not very convincing. We don’t yet see major websites entirely built with webassembly-based frameworks.

Why should it be necessary to build things only in wasm for the web? JS is a really good language for building frontends. There is a reason why lots of companies prefer building native applications with React. People always complain about framework bloat with JS, but then we want to hype up shipping huge wasm binaries? Just for basic interaction in a UI?

Wasm is doing great, inside and outside the browser. But it won’t replace JS because there’s no reason to do so.
