WebAssembly is a brand new W3C standard for a secure and load-time optimised, stack-based virtual machine that is a compilation target for a broad range of languages. That’s clear isn’t it?! This talk will provide a very gentle introduction to WebAssembly, with practical examples. By the end of the talk you’ll have a much better understanding of this exciting new technology.
