Talkat dotJS 2018 · on Friday, 2018-11-09· [webassembly, rust]

Claims that WebAssembly brings nativelike speed to the browser and won’t kill JavaScript but will break its monopoly, demonstrated by a game where identical code gives each player 200 ms per move and the WebAssembly-optimized side calculates faster and wins. Demo uses asm.js (precursor shown by the Microsoft Edge team) versus WebAssembly. Notes compile targets like Rust, C++, and Java and emphasizes real performance gains, not vague promises.
