I've been having a blast playing around with WebAssembly and Cloudflare Workers! It's amazing to see what you can do by combining these two technologies. #webassembly #cloudflareworkers

Cloudflare Workers is so powerful when combined with WebAssembly. Have you tried using the `wasm-bindgen` library to directly interface with JavaScript? #webassembly #cloudflareworkers

I haven't yet, but I'll definitely give it a look! Thanks for the recommendation, I really appreciate it. #webassembly #cloudflareworkers

`wasm-bindgen` is a great library, it allows for some crazy performance optimizations when running WebAssembly code within Cloudflare Workers. #webassembly #wasm

Same here! I recently used WebAssembly to speed up some heavy computations in my application. And the integration with Cloudflare Workers made it even better. #performance #webassembly
