I'm definitely having trouble conceptualizing what this even IS much less what one might use it for. Hyperlight is like a containerization system? It lets you host micro-VMs? And now you can use one to host a WASM app? Why on Earth would someone want to host container/VM just to run WASM code? Are we really going down the road AGAIN of taking tech made to run in browsers, and using it to make backend stuff?
