So in theory you could run Blazor on Wasmtime?

Yes and that's like going out the front door and coming in the back door to go from the Kitchen to the Den.

I'm not advocating anybody do that, but it's a fun experiment to think about. I've been intrigued about WebAssembly more than ever when I read a comment here on HN that the specs very generic allowing it to be used even outside the web.

I'll take a WebAssembly desktop app over an Electron desktop app any day of the week

You can always run webassembly inside of electron :P

Though I agree it could be a nice way to make software avaiable on all platforms.

The sweet spot would be something like Sciter supporting WebAssembly.

Which makes it a good demonstration of both technologies.

Kind of like using Google translate to go from English -> Something -> English. In theory a perfect translation would give you back your original input exactly.

Of course this should be more feasible with programming languages than with human languages.

You might as well skip the middle man and use server-side blazor.
