Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time WASM lived in browsers alone
JavaScript's companion in the client-side zone
But clever engineers had a brighter idea
Take that binary magic to servers so clear
Portable bytecode that runs anywhere fast
Memory isolation that's built to last

[Chorus]
Server-side WASM breaks the language wall
Secure and portable, one format for all
Plugin architectures bloom like flowers in spring
Safe extensions without the dangerous sting
Remember the power: isolate and contain
WASM modules dancing in their sandboxed domain

[Verse 2]
Traditional plugins could crash your whole app
Shared memory spaces where troubles could trap
But WASM creates bubbles of computational space
Each module protected in its own safe place
Linear memory model keeps the boundaries tight
No buffer overflows disrupting your night

[Chorus]
Server-side WASM breaks the language wall
Secure and portable, one format for all
Plugin architectures bloom like flowers in spring
Safe extensions without the dangerous sting
Remember the power: isolate and contain
WASM modules dancing in their sandboxed domain

[Bridge]
Capability-based security grants what you need
No more than required for the plugin to feed
Host functions exposed through interfaces clean
The most elegant boundaries you've ever seen
Rust to WASM, Go to bytecode too
Choose any language that compiles right through

[Verse 3]
Edge computing loves this portable friend
Deploy the same module from start to end
Kubernetes clusters run WASM so lean
Faster cold starts than containers you've seen
Microservices shrink to microscopic size
Efficiency gains that will dazzle your eyes

[Chorus]
Server-side WASM breaks the language wall
Secure and portable, one format for all
Plugin architectures bloom like flowers in spring
Safe extensions without the dangerous sting
Remember the power: isolate and contain
WASM modules dancing in their sandboxed domain

[Outro]
From browser to server the revolution spreads
WASM's bright future lives in our server threads
