WebAssembly brings all languages to the browser and that's a good thing.
I can write applications for the desktop in any language, I should be able to do the same thing in the browser.
WebAssembly makes that possible.
- pjmlp 2y agoBack in the day you would have used .NET plugin for browsers, which got replaced by Silverlight plugin, nowadays it is WebAssembly, really nothing new per se.
- zfg 2y agoExcept that it's implemented in all browsers with nothing extra to install. All third party browser plugins failed eventually.
- pjmlp 2y agoAnd now we have all plugins back, that is the only utility for WebAssembly, doing two level translation of bytecodes.
- zfg 2y agoWebAssembly is no more a plugin than JavaScript is.
- pjmlp 2y agoIndeed, but it allows us to have our plugins back, and that is the only thing I care about. https://cheerpj.com https://cheerpj.com https://opensilver.net/ https://opensilver.net/ https://vidkidz.github.io https://vidkidz.github.io
- aqueueaqueue 2y agoMinified JS also makes that possible.
- zfg 2y agoWebAssembly does it better.
