The closest way to visualize it is probably how cloudflare offers something kind of like a container (if you squint) via it's workers product.

I assume the merit for cloudflare is lower overhead cost per worker than if they had done something more like AWS lambda. Explained better than I can, here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/reference/how-work...

It does currently present a lot of restrictions as compared to what you could do in a container. But it's good enough to run lots of real world stuff today.

I run my golang on car workers.

It does not work with wasi.

I just use a simple driver:

Wasi is so painful that I just write all my golang using stdio and have a shim per runtime. Web browser, Cloudflare, server ( with wazero ).

The new go:wasmexport might be useful in go 1.24 but I highly doubt by it.

Even closer WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss, Glassfish in 2002, but now instead of a EAR file, it is a WASM one.
