WASM matter?
summary
WASM is a compact binary encoding of asm_js that delivers near‑native primitives and fast startup, compiled from C or Rust via tools like emscripten and wabt and used to ship full apps like Quake III port and client‑side libraries for heavy work such as Squoosh image processing. Examples show tiny hand‑written modules like 41‑byte handcrafted .wasm or emscripten outputs with ~165 bytes wasm plus JS bootstrapping and larger projects like Pyodide ~3 MB for a full CPython runtime.
