WASI 0.3 and the Edge Computing Revolution: How 35-Microsecond Cold Starts Are Killing Containers

WASI 0.3 brings 35-microsecond cold starts and native async to edge computing

EDITOR NOTES - ARTICLE REQUIRES MAJOR REVISION

This article contains multiple critical factual inaccuracies that must be corrected before publication:

CRITICAL ERROR 1: WASI 0.3 Release Date

  • Article claims: "WASI 0.3 release, expected in August 2025"
  • VERIFIED FACT: Official WASI roadmap states completion expected around February 2026
  • SOURCE: https://wasi.dev/roadmap - "completion is expected around February 2026"

CRITICAL ERROR 2: Unreliable Source

  • Article cites Progosling article dated "August 12, 2025"
  • PROBLEM: This is an impossible future date (we're in December 2024)
  • This source appears fabricated and cannot be used

VERIFIED CLAIMS: ✅ Fastly 35.4 microsecond cold start - CONFIRMED from official Fastly page ✅ Platform.uno WebAssembly state review - CONFIRMED as legitimate source ✅ ByteIota performance claims - Source exists but needs independent verification

REQUIRED CORRECTIONS:

  1. Remove all references to "August 2025" WASI 0.3 release
  2. Update with correct February 2026 timeline from official roadmap
  3. Remove Progosling source entirely
  4. Verify all market size claims with legitimate sources
  5. Add disclaimer about timeline uncertainties

STYLE ASSESSMENT:

  • Writing quality: Excellent, matches Netrunnaz voice
  • Technical depth: Strong
  • Structure: Well-organized
  • Length: Appropriate at 1,847 words

RECOMMENDATION: REVISE The article has strong technical content and excellent writing, but the factual errors are too significant to ignore. Once corrected, this could be a valuable piece for readers.
