What does wasm have to do with battery life, and why would you assume its worse?
I expect wasm to be be less resource intensive than JavaScript, as GC's and such won't be necessary.
- wwweston 10y agowasm may well be much more efficient and less resource intensive than JS. Seems likely enough, given the analogue of ASM on most machines. But, then again, most people don't write ASM. They target it. So in practice, the performance of apps taking advantage of wasm will have a lot to do with compilers and the culture/choices developers bring to writing the software targeted at the browser-as-runtime.
