Compiling C++ to Wasm

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine that fills a critical gap in the web platform's capabilities. It doesn't replace JavaScript, but it does give developers a performant, low-level compilation target for their web applications. It also supports languages other than JavaScript, like C++, allowing them...

4. LESSON

Calling Wasm Functions from JavaScript

WebAssembly, abbreviated as wasm, is a powerful technology that has opened up an entirely new universe of possibilities for web developers. It is a binary instruction format designed as a stack-based virtual machine. The principal target of WebAssembly is the execution in a web browser, allowing high-performance applications on web pages, but it d...

6. LESSON

Taking WebAssembly to the Next Level

Introduction to WebAssembly WebAssembly, often abbreviated to Wasm, is considered a game-changer for web development. It’s an open standard that enables high-performance execution of compiled code directly in the browser. You can think of it much like an assembly language for a conceptual machine. Yet, this machine is different from any hardw...
