JavaScript and WebAssembly programs are always executed in a sandboxed VM, without read access to the host OS files (unless, of course, you grant it).
Enabling scripting was a necessary step for interactive websites. Without it, a full page load would be required every time you upvote a Hacker News comment. In my opinion, the real problem is that browsers allow too many connections to third-party domains, which are mostly ads and trackers. Those should require user-approved permissions instead of being the default.

It looks like container2wasm uses a forked version of Bochs to get the x86-64 kernel emulation to work. If one pulled that out separately and patched it a bit more to have the remaining feature support it'd probably be the closest overall. Of course one could say the same about patching anything with enough enthusiasm :).
I looked at Prisma, I very much prefer the Protobuf/Thrift model of using numbers to identify fields, which allows 2 important things: fields to be renamed without breaking backward compatibility, and a compact wire format.
I think the Protobuf language (which Skir is heavily influenced by) has some flaws in its core design, e.g. the enum/oneof mess, the fact that it allows spare field numbers which makes the "dense JSON" format (core feature of Skir) harder to get, the fact that it does not allow users to optionally specify a stable identifier to a message to get compatibility checks to work.
I get your point about "why building another language", but also that point taken too far means that we would all be programming in Haskell.

What you're describing is a SNI, not ECH. Those two serve very different purposes.

It has everything to do with that. Had you used two brain cells, you would've known that they can memorize the IP address and the domain name, and if you connect to that IP in a short period of time, most likely you visited that domain name.
