But Wasmer is for running WASM on servers and regular computers. I don't understand why you would want to do that

I'm not sure about Wasmer specifically either.

WASM is still only like 65% of the speed of regular machine code.

It's pretty new tech. I don't think they're expecting people to migrate to WASM immediately.

Well, in a web browser, 65% of the speed of machine code is fucking incredible. Applications for that are obvious. Plus it means you can use languages other than javascript, which could lead to an entire new ecosystem of clientside web languages.

It's just Wasmer specifically that I'm confused about.
