So he's basically stating that Wasm is better at doing what Java/Shockwave/Flash did. Thats most likely correct but also beside the point. The concept of "That one Layer which enables Cross-Platform applications" is just something which has failed, does fail and will fail in the future. Idc if its better at being Java since its still trying to be java.

I’m saying that’s the case in the browser, but I’m also a big believer in wasm outside of the browser too.
