The software ecosystem has a lot of useful but unsafe code, and the easier it is to sandbox that code, the more often that’ll happen.

Pausing and resuming code can be useful for various things, like implementing coroutines, async/await, limiting how much CPU time untrusted code gets, and so forth.

Fuzzers generate random testcases in order to find interesting ones, like an input that causes a crash, and reducers take interesting testcases and find equally-interesting ones which are smaller and easier to debug.

The Rust language is one of the earliest adopters of WebAssembly, and it has more than one way to compile to it:

The Binaryen optimizer compiles wasm to better (smaller, faster) wasm.
