>You can import C (and many others) libraries This means compiling the lib to wasm, right? At first I was thinking of running JS clientside that imports some C lib somehow, which confused me.

Yes. The C lib will be compiled into wasm. You can use the wasm-compiled code in a browser through JS wrappers. So you can say importing C lib on JS client side anyway. Note that wasm's main objective is to run non-JS code on browsers, not for a faster JS.

  So you could do the same with Cython then, too? Interesting.

    I've never experienced with Cython. But if Cython is to compile anPython file into a C file then probably.
