@civodul @bugaevc @janneke This now got me thinking... I found a Hurd post talking about how it adds POSIX compatibility to Mach: https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/weblogs/ArneBab/technical-advantages-of-the-hurd.html
And it says it still provides access to the capability-based permissions underneath, which sounds nice. But it also got me thinking: there's likely to be a lot more software targeting WASI soon, which is natively capability-based. Could it be possible for Hurd to have WASI compatibility too?
@jfred I have to admit I don’t know WASI…
But overall, I’m not enthused by the idea of adding an extra interpretation layer like Wasm on top of my CPU. Capsicum or the Hurd’s native interfaces look more appealing to me though.
