Of course of course. I am not trying to boil the ocean here, or we would have a VM like wasm and a execution env like wasi and run all our 1000 year code inside of that.
The first step is just having your code, data and deps in an archive. Depending on the project and the age, more stuff makes it into the archive.

We aren't even to the .tar.gz stage yet.
