The more I read about WebAssembly, the more I think it is the rebirth of Flash, or Silverlight, or JavaFX without being tied to a proprietary entity (Adobe, MS, Oracle).
Will it be really good for the web in general? I guess it will depend on the motivation of those who would peruse the technology.
- Skinney 9y agoWhy? For almost everyone, it would be less work and give better results to just have a WebASM app render HTML. Except for "legacy" apps written in C++ and some native UI framework, why would anyone bypass using what is already there and works in a browser? It would be like writing an iOS or Android app by using C++ and bypassing the native UI toolkit.
