Clang runs in the browser and compiles C++ to WebAssembly

Just need to be able to run Chrome/Firefox directly in a Docker instance, and we’d be there.

But seriously, maybe that’s the next step in this crazy ride we’re all on.

We may even need something stronger than docker. There are various project to use virtualization technology to sandbox a browser session at the hardware level. My guess is that ultimately this is the future of web browser.

One commercially supported Windows [browser] application virtualization (-ish, pretty much Docker-grade security for end users) option, $35 for personal use: https://www.sandboxie.com

Most similar tools are marketed as antivirus products, and are only available via enterprise licensing and/or SaaS reporting. An example of a hardware virtualization based option: https://www.bromium.com/platform/our-technology.html
