Wanix is a Wasm-native Unix sandboxing environment that allows running real Wasm and x86 programs entirely within the browser without a server. Inspired by Plan 9, it provides tools like an 'rc' shell, a file workbench, and the ability to boot Linux VMs directly in the namespace.
Background
WebAssembly (Wasm) has evolved beyond simple web modules to support complex system-level applications and virtual machines within the browser. This project leverages those capabilities to create a lightweight, secure computing environment accessible via standard web technologies.
