Look at squoosh.app. They cross-compiled image compression libs to the browser, which means that they don't have to reimplement anything for the web, and now you can use it securely from any browser. AutoDesk was able to cross-compile their decades-old millions+ line C++ codebase to wasm, now they have a web product. Fastly and Cloudflare _only_ support wasm/javascript for their edge cloud compute solutions; but since they support wasm, you can write your functions in C++/Rust and run it with nearly the same performance characteristics. Lots of reasons to use webassembly, it's just getting started!
