Ask HN: So C will be the new language of the web?
Webassembly is coming. So I looked into it. It's a language nobody will ever want to look at or write directly. Just check out the syntax here:
https://wasdk.github.io/WasmFiddle/?ttxwx
(Click "build" and the wasm source code will appear in the lower left)
So will we all be writing C in the future?
- wmf 9y agoWebAssembly isn't intended to replace JS for 99% of use cases but it is useful for porting legacy C libraries to make them available to JS apps.

- dragonwriter 9y agoWebAssembly is a compilation target. Lots of things will eventually compile to WebAssembly (or be interpreted by interpreters that themselves are compiles to webassembly.)
