Re: Runs outside the browser

"Can any grey beard name _one_ attack vector of wasm code you write running outside of a browser that is not significantly less of a risk than _any_ other mechanism for running code you have in 2020?"

Yes, actually: the same attack vectors that existed before. If you're going to do anything new, why not make it have fewer potential vulnerabilities? And if you say that's the price of admission, I contend the price is too high and a new approach is needed: Joe Stupid be damned.
