Good article, I also have a C program (a compiler) that I would like to compile to webassembly to offer a playground web page, so that is good information. Thank you! About the file system stuff: modern browsers ship with SQLite which is av

That reminds me of a blog article I wrote some time ago, where “timeout” gets mentioned: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/way_too_many_ways_to_wait_fo... It’s more useful if you are implementing this in a general progr

I initially did not see the use case for sending hundreds of MiB to the browser, but near the end, data visualization is mentioned which is fair. I could also see video games and observability platforms needing to do this, for example Datad

I have done something similar for Linux under 2 KiB in assembly some time ago: https://gaultier.github.io/blog/x11_x64.html As others have said, doing so in pure C and linking dynamically, you can easily remain under 2

Fantastic article! But when I read “inspired by the Gameboy form factor”, I thought the cartridge would insert much deeper, like a Gameboy (maybe not all the way so that the picture on the cartridge is still visible) . That way it cannot be

I love reading optimization stories so thank you! So essentially the code got faster by switching to smarter regexp engine that can transform (hopefully) the regexp into a FSM. Cool, but what about replacing the regexp with straightforward

At work the Go backend was also using gob encoding in one case to store some values in the database. After some profiling, I noticed it was the top allocation part of the whole app. It was also showing on the CPU performance profiles. Fina
