Your Next Server Might Be a Browser
Session Description
This talk explores how WebAssembly (WASM) is turning browsers into serious runtime environments that are capable of running real code written in Rust, Go, C, TypeScript, and more. I’ll cover how we can use WASM to run local apps, build plugin systems, and even turn a browser into a self-contained server.
Intro
WASM 101: What is WebAssembly, and why is it a game-changer for devs?
The Browser as a Runtime: Turning the browser into more than just a UI. A CLI, server, sandbox and more.
Meet wasmrun: An open source dev-focused WASM runtime for running real code anywhere, especially in browsers.

Plugins and WASM tooling
Closing and Q/A
Whether you’re building CLIs, web apps, edge tools, or just curious about what the future of dev, looks like, this one’s for you.
