When I first wrote WAGI, I just wanted to show people that WebAssembly could be run efficiently on the server. Basically, like you were saying, I wanted something to demo to people and say, "Look, Wasm can do a lot more than crypto-mine in a browser tab!"

Now with Spin we are able to go beyond those first assumptions made with Wagi and explore exactly how far we can push it. It has been so much fun to explore how to have a Wasm module handle Redis events, or try out Python on Wasm for the very first time, or build a little CMS in Wasm... it feels like the early days of Docker all over again!

Thank you for doing this, I’m excited for WASM on the backend but not a lot of bandwidth a lot of my other projects take higher priority atm. I would love to someday see if someone can make a WASM backend for Erlang with support for Erlang features. Would be interesting to give devs from any background indirect access to Erlang via WASM.
