alt Hacker Newsgiving yourself (or your llm) infinite future work in maintaining all that duplicated kubernetes source code is a bad idea, surely? the author notes they could have compiled the kubernetes to wasm, but doesn't due to... bundle size? i haven't tried, but surely it wouldn't work because all os-level functionality would cause panics.
also the title is false
I've also wondered whether implementing OS calls would have been smarter. Maybe there's already a library that does 90% for you.
But then, I get the idea of the project. If you wanted real kubernetes, it's easy to install on any OS or online in a VM.
There has to be some cutoff of features where "it runs in the browser" makes sense. I think the project has made a good call here.
