Abstract

If you’re curious about WebAssembly and what it means for the future of web development, this session is for you. In this session I will provide an introduction to, and overview of WebAssembly. I’ll cover what it is, what it isn’t, and the various ways it can interoperate with JavaScript in the browser and other host environments. I’ll cover limitations, use cases, and show sample code in raw WebAssembly as well as illustrate how to use powerful languages like Rust to generate extremely fast, safe WebAssembly modules.
