Roadmap towards IPLD about specs HOT 4 CLOSED

I will like to add my one cent:
As IPLD will change hashing we can use it to introduce some other changes that would break hash compatibility like for example limiting block size to one that is friendly for storage (proposed is 256KiB) - ipfs/kubo#2122

It would be great to add it to the road map.

from specs.

I think WebAssembly is one of the best candidates for wire format there is. Code is stored in AST (abstract syntax tree) which allows for very low loading times (as AST is something most interpreters and JITs will process the code to, no need for parsing). The lowest level language (as it is AST) shares a lot in looks with LISP.

WA comes in as bare as language can be. All more advanced functions (for example i/o) have to be requested as a module.
