and besides that it is slower than nodejs it is still plenty fast (no matter that it is not as fast as they want) btw. it's startup is faster than node. (maybe better pgo might help)
its insane what they built, to do it and it will bring the whole wasm community forward if they succeed (and I hope they do)

None of the code involved here existed a year ago, and none of it was somehow forced to be open source. (Also, the code in these two repositories is in many ways the most boring part of this solution. See this blog post for an excellent overview of the more interesting parts: https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/making-javascript-run-...)
Sorry if I was mistaking.
While there was no acquisition involved, a whole group of folks working on WebAssembly at Mozilla (myself included) moved to Fastly last Fall. What I tried to emphasize is that instead of the projects at hand here being open source because they somehow had to be, we all joined Fastly because it's a place where this kind of project can be made open source (and be created in the first place!) :)
