This blog expands on my DrupalCon Barcelona talk,

Earlier this month, I debuted a way to try out Drupal core and the Starshot prototype running in the browser using WebAssembly. It started as a passion project and fascination with new web technologies, something I had tried a year before but didn't find a fit for.

At DrupalCon Portland, Dries announced Starshot during his State of Drupal presentation. Part of Starshot is the idea that we have Drupal CMS and Core. The big difference is that the Drupal CMS offering comes with standard contributed modules used by almost every existing Drupal build. Then, Dries showed a proposed wireframe for the Drupal.org download page.
