Cloudflare is burying the lede here a bit: they have built a cloud platform that costs a third of what AWS costs and can run any language, by compiling it down to WebAssembly and running it in V8 isolates.https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloud-computing-without-containers/ …
WebAssembly modules are already in the npm registry and interoperable with other JS. There is a potential future, not guaranteed but possible, in which all open-source software written in any language agglomerates into a single giant pool of useful libraries available on npm.
npm transitioned from the package manager for Node to the package manager for JavaScript and now with TypeScript, Electron and mobile transpilers has moved into being a general purpose software development platform.
WebAssembly creates the potential for npm to become the dependency management solution for every programming language. This would be a very unexpected outcome, but then so were the previous two transitions.
The strange thing is: nobody planned this. Google built v8, GitHub built Electron, Facebook built React Native, Microsoft created TypeScript, Mozilla invented WebAssembly and now Cloudflare has built workers. This was nobody's master plan, but the shape is becoming clearer.
I have been speaking all year about the Meyerovich study which says that the availability of open source libraries to achieve the task at hand is the primary reason people pick a programming language. It's why npm's gigantic library is fueling JavaScript's ascent.
What happens when every library in every language is available to every other language via a single mechanism and a unified clearing house? How does software development change when you can use any library anytime?
P.S. if you are thinking "sure, Cloudflare Workers sound nice but is anybody really using them at scale?" the answer is "yes, the npm Registry has been mostly workers since May".
Not sure if this should be considered a utopia or dystopia... 
So it’s possible that control of all open source software is going to belong to a single private company? I now understand what people mean when they say “late capitalist nightmare.”
I fucking hope not.
god I fucking hope not
Thank God it's not guaranteed. Npm is already enough of a clusterfuck
Yea it’s exciting then I googled about python being transpiled to web assembly and then I got sad
