About WebAssembly
WebAssembly
is a binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine. It is a W3C standard that ships in all major browsers and features streaming compilation and convenient interoperability with JavaScript.
Most compiled languages
many server-side runtimes
WebAssembly Systems Interface (WASI)
The focus of this track is on writing WebAssembly Text Format (*.wat) files by hand in order to gain familiarity with the virtual machine, Instruction Set Architecture, and module abstraction provided by the core specification. While most production deployments of WebAssembly are compiled from higher-level languages, many developers depend on relatively heavy-weight frameworks that abstract away the WebAssembly virtual machine via heavyweight JavaScript glue code and generate relatively large, multi-megabyte binaries that result in slower startup-times. A deeper understanding of WebAssembly enables the creation of smaller modules and gives you total control over how your module interacts with the surrounding host environment. You might be surprised what can be accomplished with a few kilobytes of WebAssembly written by hand!
