Wasm can do 64-bit integers, SIMD and statically typed GC classes.
- DonHopkins 9mo agoWASM can even do 32-bit integers, which JavaScript can't, so uses floats instead.
- WorldMaker 9mo agoJS has had byte arrays like Int32Array for a while. The JS engines will try to optimize math done into them/with them as integer math rather than float math, but yeah you still can't use an integer directly outside of array math.
- davidmurdoch 9mo agoJS could have had support for SIMD and 64 bit it's by now, and progress was actually being made (mostly just through the asm.js experiments), but it was deprioritized specifically to work on WASM.
