A whole range of apps (e.g. real-time video games) simply aren't possible right now. It'd be cool if the platform had the capabilities to achieve it

Would that even be possible without violating all the laws of sandboxing? Who would one ask about this? Would @jaffathecake be a good person to start with?

If WebAssembly was possible, then I'm sure the same can be done for networking & disk access. Probably the hardest part will be agreeing that it's a challenge that needs a solution.

I don't think it's quite the same. We've been able to write to memory for ages on the web, eg assigning a string to a variable. Not sure how you'd expose UDP without breaking security.

If they're still a thing, webrtc data channels were supposed to solve the low-level connection control: https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/webrtc/datachannels/ … Not quite raw sockets but could handle a lot of cases.

Yeah, they're rather limited tho; believe ~7 connections is when computers start melting. Also, afaik there's about 2 working implementations around, and building them is considered a feat. So everyone on the server is mostly just shelling out to Electron

Clients melt or servers? New server implementations is probably the quickest way to have something real since it is in the field in Chrome and Firefox already

Clients melting. Maybe my info is outdated, and WebRTC perf has improved since a year ago! What do you mean by the latter comment tho? I'm not sure I follow.
