Notes from various F2F discussions

Oct 18th (SES Strategy Meeting):

Notes about why we need realms:

ShadowRealms allow virtualization of the language itself.
Same origin is seen as legacy from some implementers, but same origin iframes is available anyways.
- It is also available in node via vm module.
Same origin is an atomic part of the web reality.
Various examples of why ShadowRealms are needed:
- Web-based IDEs or any kind of 3rd party code execution uses same origin evaluation.
- Fiddler & Co.
- JSPerf & Co.
- Test frameworks (in-browser tests, but also in node using vm).
- Most plugin mechanism for the web.
- Sandboxing (e.g.: Oasis Project)
- Server side rendering (to avoid collition and data leakage)
