A peek into the WebAssembly Browser Preview
Following the introduction of asm.js, we have been working with other browser vendors including Mozilla, Google, Apple, along with the rest of the WebAssembly community group, to push the performance boundary of the web with WebAssembly. WebAssembly is a new, portable, size- and load-time-efficient binary compiler target, which promises near-native performance on the web. As
R in the Browser: Announcing Our WebAssembly Distribution
R is now available in emscripten-forge, enabling the Xeus-R kernel in JupyterLite
A Tale of Three WebAssembly Runtimes
Walking through the implementation of three different WebAssembly runtimes from scratch
WebAssembly | MDN
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a low-level assembly-like language that brings near-native performance to the web. It serves as a compilation target for languages like C/C++, C#, and Rust, allowing high-performance code to run directly in the browser.
Why is WebAssembly a second-class language on the web? – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C++, and immediately enabled many new kinds of applications to efficiently target the web.
Emscripten: an LLVM-to-JavaScript compiler
Although the performance of today's JavaScript engines is sufficient for most web applications, faster and more predictable runtimes could be desired for performance-critical web code. Therefore, we present Speedy.js, a cross-compiler that translates ...
WebAssembly Browser Preview – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
Since the last WebAssembly milestone we reached in March, we’ve been hard at work in the WebAssembly Community Group to define a standard and to implement that standard in our ...
A practical guide to WebAssembly memory | radu's blog
Memory in WebAssembly is one of the topics that creates confusion for newcomers, particularly for those with experience in languages with memory management features like garbage collection, such as JavaScript, Go, or Java. In this article we explore using memory in WebAssembly in various scenarios - passing JavaScript arrays to Rust and AssemblyScript modules, checking for some basic memory leaks using Valgrind, or exchanging strings between runtimes and modules using Wasmtime.
