3. WebAssembly (abbreviated Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a

   stack-based virtual machine. Wasm is designed as a portable target for compilation of high-level languages like C/C++/Rust, enabling deployment on the web for client and server applications. https://webassembly.org/

5. Roadmap • ☑ MVP • ☑ Supported by major browser

   engines • Next Steps • Start work on post-MVP features

6. Features to add after the MVP • Threads • GC

   • ECMAScript module integration • Host bindings • wasm-bindgen • …etc
7. None

8. High-Level Goals • Define a portable, size- and load-time-efficient binary

   format to serve as a compilation target which can be compiled to execute at native speed by taking advantage of common hardware capabilities available on a wide range of platforms, including mobile and IoT. • Design to support non-browser embeddings as well. • https://github.com/ewasm

9. High-Level Goals Design to execute within and integrate well with

   the existing Web platform: • execute in the same semantic universe as JavaScript; allow synchronous calls to and from JavaScript • access browser functionality through the same Web APIs that are accessible to JavaScript

10. ☓ WebAssmebly VS JavaScript ◦ WebAssmebly — JavaScript https://webassembly.org/docs/faq/#is-webassembly-trying-to-replace-javascript

11. More integrated with JS Support more non-browser embeddings More community!
