Implications of Flutter WASM
summary
Flutter WebAssembly is stable and produces both a WASM binary plus a JavaScript fallback so pages detect and use WASM when available; build uses the command flutter run wasm (run on beta, build works on stable) and requires server flags for threads and cross‑origin. Early demos show dramatic gains — simple render workloads report 3–500 fps — because Flutter uses CanvasKit/offscreen canvas and Dart’s tree‑shaking keeps WASM sizes small; Safari and Firefox still need fixes for full coverage.
