I might be even more thrilled for the entire @fermyon.com and #Akamai teams here than they are. Akamai has realized that it could put together a next-gen cloud native platform that both enables and pushes a huge amount of work far, far closer to the users than ever. And Fermyon....

I suppose taking on Cloudflare Workers is (and AWS and Azure) are good points to make. As a CloudFlare Workers user I'd be interested on how could I deploy non-WASM loads like static web pages to this and pass traffic through to API. Or deploy e.g. a .NET Api to edge. The whole flow, so to speak. :)
