I'm curious what you find special or unique about WANIX? At first glance it looks like a lot of arbitrary decisions made for a computing environment building block without much explanation as to why it's better than alternatives
Episode 105: Reaction: Progrium Technology Thesis
We learn more about the philosophy behind WANIX and react to the thesis video from its creator @progrium.
With a big emphasis on reusable/extensible building blocks, WANIX and the broader Tractor ecosystem seem to dovetail well with our WASM-based agent plugin system. Can we use this for AutoDevs?

Discussion
Mostly excited about WANIX as basis for an agent runtime because it enables agents to run local-first in a browser while enabling 1) read/write access to filesystems including GitHub, 2) compilation of new Go programs in the browser (because the Go compiler is shipped to the browser via WASM), 3) an in-browser dev pipeline for webapps and binaries, and 4) usage of our existing agent plugins also using WASM
tl;dr WANIX has all the building blocks needed for agentic recursive self-improvement
