The Future of WebAssembly

WebAssembly (Wasm) started as a way to run high-performance code in the browser. Today, it’s becoming a universal runtime.

Beyond the Browser

Wasm’s sandboxed, secure, and portable nature makes it perfect for:

• Serverless Functions: Cold start times are virtually non-existent compared to containers.
• Plugin Systems: Allow users to extend your application with code written in any language.

WASI (WebAssembly System Interface)

WASI provides a standard interface for Wasm modules to access system resources like files and network, enabling Wasm to run outside the browser.

Conclusion

WebAssembly is poised to revolutionize how we deploy and run software, blurring the lines between frontend, backend, and edge.
