Been hearing about WASM on here for years now, but it's never about people actually using it. Are there any high-profile cases of it being used?

  One that comes to mind is the WASM port of FFmpeg: https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm https://github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.wasm Another is the SQLite WASM project: https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/index.md https://sqlite.org/wasm/doc/trunk/index.md Also v86 for x86 machine virtualization in the web browser: https://github.com/copy/v86 https://github.com/copy/v86 A fun project is WASM-4, for building retro-style games: https://wasm4.org/ https://wasm4.org/ Possibly more interesting projects to be found here: https://github.com/topics/wasm https://github.com/topics/wasm https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm https://github.com/mbasso/awesome-wasm

    Zoom uses it quite extensively, Figma is built in it.

  My understanding is that https://photopea.com https://photopea.com (very handy for basic photoshopesque image manipulation) uses it

  Google Earth in the browser uses WASM too: https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-earth-to-more.html https://blog.chromium.org/2019/06/webassembly-brings-google-...

  Just to be clear, wasm is usually a compilation target, not someting written by hand like on that site.
