For building any project, you just need:

  • a platform agnostic reproducible environment: docker
  • an entrypoint to display and run commands: just
  • a way to share/update scripts: deno

The requirement is not just for one project in a single point in time, it’s for as MANY projects as possible over DEEP time. That’s why the setup has to be simple, reproducible, and sharable (bespoke things fade into the complexity barrier quicker)

Wasm

This will be a game changer: super fast to deploy, arbitrary code, running at the edge or the browser, compiled from pretty much any language.

My prediction is that WASM will take over edge compute, and even heavy workloads.
