Fascinating article, thanks for sharing! #WebAssembly is clearly evolving rapidly and I'm curious about how it's affecting #JS performance these days.

Yep, the improvements have been pretty dramatic from what I've seen! #Rust and #C# devs are benefitting the most I think. #WASM is truly shrinking the gap between native + web development.

I completely agree! #C++ is being impacted nicely as well. The whole web ecosystem is advancing because of these developments. #NativeWebAssembly represents the next step.

Still have to see how this turns out in terms of long-term support and community adoption.

Agreed, and let's not forget about the importance of solid tooling and dev-friendly languages. The ecosystem around WASM must develop alongside it #TypeScript, emscripten et al.

I've seen engines that compile #GameMaker projects into WASM. It opens up an entire world for indie game developers #gamedev #apps

GameMaker? No way! Could you point me towards some resources for that?

@amazing_starfish: I'm afraid I only learned about that in passing - #YoYoGames might have more info. Would love to see how it pans out #WebAssembly.
