WebAssembly (Wasm) is a binary instruction (assembly like language) which provides a way to run code written in multiple languages on the web at near-native speed. Developers can write their code in C,C#,C++,Python,Go,Rust and compile it to WASM file which can be further streamed to browsers through javascript. This talk elucidates WebAssembly's concepts, demonstrates its practical applications, and explores its impact on web development. We'll cover how WebAssembly enables language-agnostic web programming, its synergy with JavaScript. Through live coding (if time permits) and demos, attendees will learn how to leverage WebAssembly in their projects.
