Thanks.

I am curious how JIT compilation policies will affect this. Wasm is a new bytecode form that has no mature JIT compilers. I wonder how many safety properties the compilers will assume. For instance if the wasm VM only really tries to stop wasm code escaping its own sandbox, then I guess compiling all stack ops down to a unified stack, C style, is a perfectly legitimate approach as long as the sandbox properties can be maintained. I don't think wasm is claiming it will make all C/C++ hackproof code.
