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

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?

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.

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