- iainmerrick 9y agoWhy do you need webassembly for that, since this game already works great right now?
- grondilu 9y agoFor more CPU demanding games, that is. Like AAA games.
- TeMPOraL 9y agoSo that you can write in something saner than JavaScript, for starters.
- iainmerrick 9y agoYou can already compile C/C++ (and I think Rust) to JavaScript via Emscripten.
- steveklabnik 9y agoYes, you can use Emscripten with Rust.
- thaumasiotes 9y agoIsn't that the gaming experience Flash already brought?
- jhasse 9y agoYou had to install Flash though.
- fb03 9y agoIt was really nice to see browsers simply incorporate slow but steadily all the APIs that made Flash worth its plugin install (canvas, opengl, webaudio, input devices, sockets). Instead of battling head on with it they simply made it pointless since you now have the same capabilities inside the engine.
- thaumasiotes 9y ago> You had to install Flash That's a choice by the browser, just like wasm.
