HN discussionThat's actually why I'm pretty bullish on WASM. It could become everything Java/JVM has ever wanted to be. Almost inevitably JS will have the best interop, with the great trend for javascriptization of everything WASM could find it's way into all sorts of environments (like the native apps you mentioned). People are already looking into WASM VMs for blockchains https://www.parity.io/wasm-smart-contract-development/

on “Ask HN: 6-figure freelancers of HN, what do you do?”Another possible take on this would be Parity Signer ( https://www.parity.io/signer/ ), which is an opensource app turning your (full-disk encrypted and put into an airplane mode) old phone into an improvised hardware wallet. Very narrow attack surface (no USB or Bluetooth, only QR codes are used for communication), and more safety against the supply chain attacks make it a viable alternative for some particular thr…

on “Which are the best low code Blockchain platforms?”This is quite damaging for Parity[1]. This combined with the Multi-Sig Wallet debacle[2] will require a lot of effort from Parity to rebuild their reputation. As the valuation of crypto-currencies such as Ethereum increases the ability to target such vulnerabilities goes from simple malicious or destructive hacks to security compromises that have material costs beyond a reputation for both the developers and users o…
