hmm, now what does this remind me of:
"By standardizing APIs for #WebAssembly, #WASI provides a way to compose software written in different languages—without costly and clunky interface systems like HTTP-based microservices." (https://wasi.dev)
Oh yeah, here it is:
"The Infinite Improbability Drive was a wonderful new method of crossing interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without tedious mucking about in hyperspace"...
and:
..."The Bistromathic Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances without all the dangerous mucking about with Improbability Factors."
(and you thought I was gonna mention #Java and Jini!)
(h/t to Douglas Adams for his enduring insight into human behavior, and the #wasm / #wasi folks for doing god's work!)
