That's more or less what Javascript is today.
- vardump 8y agoWhile Javascript can serve a subset of these applications, its runtime is bulky and high performance Javascript JIT weighs a lot due to required complexity. WebAssembly is a lot less complicated, and has a lot of potential.
- swsieber 8y agoI would say that a nice simplified view of things is that the WebAssembly lifts complexity from execution optimization into compilation (or wasm production) optimization, allowing the runtime to be much lighter/faster.
- simion314 8y agoI assume with WebAssembly you could get existing c/c++ etc libraries and recompile them and use them. Even a JS lover that wants to make desktop apps could benefit of having access at the large number of existing libraries without having to use a bridge to the native libraries.
