I have to ask, were you influenced at all by the talk “The Birth and Death of Javascript” from Pycon 2014?

https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

It describes a hypothetical future where operating systems use asm.js (precursor to wasm) sandboxes as an alternative to virtual memory protection. I always thought it was a cool idea, and it seems to be a key part of your design.



It's more likely this was influenced by Midori, a research operating system from Microsoft active around 2008 to 2015

That summary is partially inaccurate and looks like AI-generated (lots of pointless "following" sentences).


I had not heard of it, but sounds pretty interesting.


I watched that talk a long time ago, but maybe on some level! Though I don't think the idea is particularly novel.
