I see, thanks! Sounds like WASI is pretty minimal, then, and we're basically going back to CGI, but it might be good enough. workers-rs looks interesting, though, thank you!
Technically it never went away! FastCGI is still plenty good enough for deploying lots of stuff with PHP. :) And I think the reason people like these new "serverless" things is exactly because, like CGI, it feels pretty developer oriented. Request goes in -- response comes out. Hard to beat that in a way. The no-management part is the real sell, though.
