I’ve been experimenting with different approaches to running code in a sandbox for several years now, but my latest attempt feels like it might finally have all of the characteristics I’ve been looking for. I’ve released it as an alpha package called micropython-wasm, and I’m using it for a code execution sandbox plugin for Datasette Agent called datasette-agent-micropython.

Why do I want a sandbox?
