Into WebAssembly

on YouTube ↗18m

" summary

WebAssembly actually speeds real code: a 2x hash rewritten in Rust and compiled with wasm-pack + webpack plugin runs the same 100k / million iterations in about 200 milliseconds vs ~2–3 seconds in plain JS, and moving it to a web worker keeps the UI responsive. An image resize demo with Pico drops 130 images from >2s to <1s. The Rust crate builds to a wasm module that loads in the browser, Python and Node.js.
