WebAssembly

WebAssembly, or wasm, is a technology that allows developers to run code on web browsers at near-native speed. It uses a compact binary format, making it fast to download and execute. Think of it as a universal language for web applications, enabling developers to write code in languages like C, C++, or Rust and run it alongside JavaScript. This improves performance for complex applications, like games and graphics editors, enhancing the user experience on the web. WebAssembly expands what is possible in browsers, bridging the gap between web and native applications.
