This is an interesting article, and mirrors my experience of porting. I really loved seeing the advice from various other developers he consulted. It's a nice way to expand it from being just his experience to a more general statement

As sunfish mentions below, this spec document is being conservative in describing things that are still being discussed. There are experimental implementations in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. See https://webassembly.github.io/d

I've made some progress on this, but there's still a way to go: https://github.com/WebAssembly/sexpr-wasm-prototype/commit/8...

Right, but it's worth mentioning that no part of WebAssembly is ready for general usage, as it is not yet released. :) Just like other components of the technology preview, I think it would be useful to have interested developers try i

We've been calling them modules, but I'm not certain that's what we'll end up with. Also, there's a reason the description is a bit fuzzy on the WebAssembly landing page. It's not just a binary format (in fact,

See my comment above, ultimately you should be able to generate WebAssembly directly from your C compiler (and other languages too). You can write it by hand as well, but that's not the primary goal of the specification. We should have

Ultimately you should be able to use your C compiler and generate wasm files directly, rather than go through asm.js. There is an experimental backend of LLVM that you can try, but it will require building LLVM from source currently. Emscri

There's a response above this one from titzer describing it, or you can read more here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/design/blob/master/DynamicLin...

I ported this to Lua as a PNaCl demo: https://gonativeclient.appspot.com/demo/lua Click the "Donut" button, and press enter.

You can run a port of SmoothLife in Chrome (via PNaCl) here: http://gonativeclient.appspot.com/demo/smoothlife

Ah, thanks for that! I was wondering if repl.it was out of date. Might be worthwhile to get the owner to update... :)

We were seeing some significant slowdowns when running lua in emscripten (testing on repl.it) vs. PNaCl. Take this naive fibonacci function: function fib(n) return n<2 and n or fib(n-1)+fib(n-2) end print(fib(30)) On my machine, it compl

They can all be done in JS (modified to remove threading, of course). In fact, many of them already run in emscripten/pepper.js (see http://trypepperjs.appspot.com ).
