agreed. no one needs the component model, and it's just a attempt for people to create work for themselves.

especially now with coding agents, the DX they think they are bringing to the table is completely irrelevant.

yes, you must save it to a laserdisc, and then observe it though a highly magnified digital microscope looking for a specific frame.

providing

and the import loader to just put .wasm in an import and get to call functions are the actual useful things in this post

component model is trash

I worked at one of the quantum computing co's on their compiler stack (so pretty much pure classical compute stuff), but in order to have even a baseline understanding of the computations and programming using qubits, I had to first get a better intuition for the underlying quantum mechanics at play. This was a great introduction to the physics underpinning the computations:

It's long, and the subject matter is intimidating at times, but watch, re-watch, then go deep by finding papers on subjects like superposition and entanglement, which are the key quantum phenomena that unlock quantum computing.

It also helps to understand a bit about how various qubit modalities are physically operated and affected by the control systems (e.g. how does a program turn into qubit rotations, readouts, and other instruction executions). Some are superconducting chips using electromagnetic wave impulses, some are suspending an ion/atom and using lasers to mutate states, or photonic chips moving light through gates - among a handful of other modalities in the industry and academia.

IBM's Qiskit platform may still have tooling, simulators, and visualizers that help you write a program and step through the operations on the qubit(s) managed by the program:

Idk what you think you have to gain with your stance lol

No one looks at MCP and sees "magic", they just see "finished integration". Something you can pretty much use straight away. That's the point.

What do all of the links below have in common? Do you know of another way you can control all of those applications via LLMs? Computer use?

you should check out the Extism[0] project and the Elixir SDK[1]. This would allow you to write the core services, routing, message passing, etc in Elixir, and leverage all the BEAM/OTP have to offer, and then embed "agents" written in other languages which are small Wasm modules that act like in-process plugins.

> Each MCP server still needs to handle auth differently depending on what it's connecting to.

Setting aside expected criticism about this being some middleware layer, but we’ve launched a solution to this problem:

An MCP “SSO”, where you install and auth your MCP servers into profiles (collections of servers), which we virtualize into a single MCP server with only a single OAuth flow — simplifying the experience substantially for both the user of the MCP servers and the clients connecting to them.

all of the servers deployed to mcp.run[0] are Wasm modules, and can run client side. they run in our cloud too, but you could use mcpx to pull them locally instead.

you can also get the raw wasm via our API and run them anywhere you can run Extism[1], the open source wasm runtime & framework that underpins it all. (Including this hyper-mcp project!)

Others should consider Chicory, enabling JVM apps to run wasm code (compiled from Rust or many other languages) at high speed, securely in-process.

JNI introduces a lot of other challenges and sacrifice in terms of portability, memory and retaining observability and control within the JVM.

Chicory even supports AOT compilation to translate wasm bytecode to JVM bytecode for native performance.
