for *the web*, not for WASM. SQLite was initially compiled to simple javascript, then to asm.js when it appeared, then to WASM when it replaced asm.js :)
The sql.js project is older than the idea of WASM itself. And I like to think it contributed to showing the potential of compiling native code to the browser, and in the creation of the WASM standard.
- sgbeal 4y ago> for the web, not for WASM. Docs have been updated. Thank you for the feedback! Edit: for future feedback (from anyone reading this) i can be reached via stephan at sqlite org. i'm unlikely to catch most doc feedback posted to HN.
