I think if I were to summarize “what’s interesting about MCP” it would be that it there’s a kernel of useful interfaces that a lot of people have agreed to implement— both in client applications and server providers. It started as “close enough to the right thing” that it gained adoption and grew.

JSPI, the wasm JavaScript Promise Integration proposal, is now at phase 4: github.com/WebAssembly/... That means it is considered fully standardized. JSPI lets wasm call JS APIs that return a Promise. The wasm awaits it. It is still behind a flag in most browsers, but hopefully not for long!

so, ICYMI, I've been pushing along a (spec-compliant! slow!) wasm interpreter here: github.com/chrisdickins... I've gotten a lot of the structure incorrect. (quelle surprise!) Part one is to start to put cut points between "machine" and "runtime". So I'm identifying organelles of a Wasm runtime.

I had a thought last night about writing a follow-up to "understanding wasm": "building wasm" which would take a comparative look at how wasm runtimes are structured, maybe trying to link that back to VM design texts, etc

TIL that the term "pie in the sky" comes from an IWW song also that it was sung to counter the salvation army (!!) who would show up to counter-protest at strikes (!!!)
