Consequential decisions need to be taken by the people who pay for the consequences, by the people with skin in the game, and modern software practices need to reinforce this idea. On-call engineering is the quintessential modern engineering practice to create skin in the software development game.

Early implementations of WebAssembly’s SIMD and multi-threading proposals show that WebAssembly is narrowing the gap with native performance, by using SIMD instructions and multicore CPUs. Significant performance improvements have been observed in compute-intensive tasks (machine-learning, bio-informatics, scientific computing).
