Does anyone have experience with WebAssembly in production?
experienceduser1 1 year ago next
Yes, we've been using it for about a year now, and it's been great for performance. However, there were some challenges during integration.

What were the challenges during integration, experiencedUser1?
experienceduser1 1 year ago next
The main challenge was debugging and testing with our CI. We solved it with time and customizations.

@anotherVoice, thanks. I would recommend to plan extra time and have reliable rollbacks for the first few times.

I've heard similar complications during CI and WASM. Good to know you overcame that!

We've used it for realtime web apps. Works great accelerating our simulations.

In which frameworks did you use WebAssembly?
experienceduser2 1 year ago next
We've used it with React. With the help of some additional libraries, it integrated rather smoothly.

Can you share more about the additional libraries you mentioned, experiencedUser2?
experienceduser2 1 year ago next
certainly, we used libraries like '@wasmd/wasm-edit' and 'wasm-bindgen' for binding Rust functions.

wasm-bindgen looks awesome, will have to try it out!

It's a powerful tool, but give it time for the ecosystem to mature and stay updated with developments.
