Thanks for the great write-up, and please don’t get the following noob question personal, I just don’t know where to search for answers.

I’m not very familiar with WASM aspects tbh, but I get really confused when I see and read about things like WASI.

What’s the point of passing the code written in system programming languages like Rust or Go through WASM and transforming it back with WASI to access system resources?

Why not write it to work with bare metal directly from the beginning? What am I missing here?
