It’s weird that we don’t treat sandboxes as a table-stakes language primitive. Like modules, functions, sandboxes, classes...
Thinking about the pyramid of doom.
Thinking about the weird and wonderful ways in which WASM will be able to run wherever because of sandbox.
Thinking about all the wild end-user scripting that would be possible if you could easily eval in a sandbox, kind of like how they do in video games sometimes.
