If we go even further, you're able to better evaluate what the overall objective should be, better ideas. how should the notes be stored? how can we implement the most useful data to note pipeline that is supported across the most platforms? Can WASM process data into notes that wasn't possible before? Do I need to implement a VM for this feature?

A great example is font formats like TrueType and OpenType contain their own built-in instruction sets and code stack that a web browser's font VM executes to render font shape hints.

Everything else considered, the closing remarks of the the press release would be useful to keep in mind if you wanted to develop this technique further

> “Our results suggest that it may be important to optimize the timing and configuration of rest intervals when implementing rehabilitative treatments in stroke patients or when learning to play the piano in normal volunteers,” said Dr. Cohen. “Whether these results apply to other forms of learning and memory formation remains an open question.”

There's also yew[1], which cites ReactJS as a direct influence. It implements a virtualDOM and is quite fast[2]. One of my main motivations for learning Rust right now.

He's not theorizing conspiracies, imo he's simply explaining how business men are unqualified for their jobs. They don't make well informed decisions. Neither do politicians. STEM based tech company execs are going to change that.
