WebAssembly: Writing Once and Running Everywhere NG
summary
WebAssembly compiles C/C++, Rust, Python and .NET into a compact binary that runs in browsers, Node and standalone runtimes, with real examples: TensorFlow.js gets a WebAssembly backend and moves a face-detect case from ~3.3s on plain JS down to ~49ms on GPU, ~5ms in a fast browser, ~87ms in Node CPU and ~3ms on a native GTX1080; jq and Unity are recompiled to run unchanged in the browser; an OpenCV + TensorFlow + Rust Sudoku pipeline runs end to end; containers and sandboxes exist as wasm time, wasmer and wazi implementations supporting file/console abstractions and streaming compilation for fast load times.
