  I'm surprised WASM isn't a bigger part of this page - it's probably one of the coolest advancements in the serverless space, especially Cloudflare Workers!

  Cloudflare was nice enough to bump up my worker upload limit to 5MB so I could upload Golang code with GOOS=js and GOARCH=wasm, and it works perfectly (with some notable help from whoever wrote this neat little niche repo https://github.com/syumai/workers)

  This is a super super great looking set of tools!

  One thing I'd like to see here is a little more explicit connection to ServiceWorkers. These various worker runtimes are patterned off the client's http serving capabilities, ServiceWorker, and ideally many/most of these tools should be useful there too. Making that more explicit/clear & a visible goal would be great.

  Really impressive list here though. With hope this is where http handling really starts going.
